Minecraft account unusable after migration from mojang

F.L.3 · Jan 29, 2022

After forcefully migrating my mojang account to microsoft it is unusable.

Each time I start the launcher I asks me to log in, which never works, send sms code, then

send email code, then it redirects me to the microsoft account page, there on each click on any

link verify your identity (on every single link), new email, new sms code, it takes me an hour to get the game to

start. It is a total ripoff from microsoft. Is there any way to disable everything and have the

launcher once logged in, stay logged indefinitely or can I just throw away the game.

PS: I do not want to set up and two factor authentication or pay for some access key, I just

want to start the game. This is totally a ripoff, after an hour of this mockery who has the nerve to play?

Experience totally ruined.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Here's from the Minecraft subreddit;

A new Launcher is being offered for download which supports Xbox Game Pass subscriptions. Unless you have such a subscription we are advising for the present not to install this new Launcher

If you are having issues installing this new Launcher for Windows 10/11, or after installation you are unable to log in (e.g. it is apparently unavailable on your Windows Store account): please download and install the older Launcher marked as Windows 7/8 from this page - https://minecraft.net/download

The new Launcher for Windows 10/11 has only recently been released, and judging by many posts on the subreddit it is not working correctly for some users. We recommend using the above mentioned older version for Windows 7/8 until these issues are resolved.

If you have successfully installed the new Launcher please see this FAQ https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

That's normal, you can't access the old Mojang account after the migration, you need to use the email you used to migrate the Mojang account to, in the launcher you need to select Minecraft Java and then Microsoft login and then use the email you use during the migration process

Hello Sereen Taha,

Thank you for contacting the Xbox Support forums. To confirm, you have never had a Mojang account and still do not have an account, is that correct? If so, a Mojang account that is migrated to a Microsoft account is required. For additional details, please review: Minecraft: Java Edition Account Migration FAQ.

If you continue to have the error after migrating your account, please contact Mojang directly at Mojang Support - Submit a Request.

Thank you,

-Tali

When Minecraft stopped working, I used my Microsoft account. And this issue happened after I changed my main alias from E-Mail 2 to E-Mail 1. I can play Minecraft if I log in with my E-Mail 2.

I purchased Minecraft on my Mojang account before the migration, but I don't use my mojang account and that Microsoft account that was migrated to.

With my Mojang account (E-Mail 1) migrated to Microsoft account (E-Mail 4) I bad the Java Edition. With my first Microsoft account (E-Mail 1, now 3) I had Minecraft Bedrock Edition. And with the other MIcrosoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) I have both Java and Bedrock.

I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft Account (E-Mail 1, now 3) from the Microsoft Store and I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) from the Microsoft Store but the Java Edition I purchased from minecraft.net. On my Mojang account (E-Mail 1, now migrated to Microsoft Account with E-Mail 3) I bought Minecraft Java from minecraft.net.

The Minecraft migration from Mojang is on a separate Microsoft account. How can I access my purchase?
