Minecraft forgot that I already have it after migrating to Microsoft account

RenHood · Jun 30, 2022

I'm going to be brief here. Originally, the Mojang account that I bought Minecraft on used a "hotmail.com" email, and not too long ago I decided to migrate to a Microsoft account. Now that my Mojang account is gone, however, my Microsoft account is treated like a completely new account and it shows no record of me having ever bought Minecraft, and it only lets me play the demo now. I know that "hotmail" accounts tend to already be Microsoft accounts in themselves, so I think by migrating I messed that up and completely changed it into a new account. What I'm asking here, therefore, is not why I don't have Minecraft anymore, but how I can get it back. Is there a way to restore my Mojang account, and how can I safely migrate?

No, I know that. The Microsoft account is the problem, it thinks I don’t have Minecraft and is making me buy it again. I want to know how to reverse the migration and get my Mojang account back. Is there any way at all for me to get Minecraft back, or do I have to buy it again?

You can't reverse the migration, but if you migrated your Mojang account to a Microsoft account you need to change and log now with the Microsoft login option on the launcher and use that Microsoft account now

If even then you can only play the demo version is because you aren't using the correct Microsoft account or you haven't completed the Migration process, you can find more information about this here

Hi RenHood! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

If you already migrated your Mojang account, you need to log in the game with the Microsoft account you use to do the Migration process, and in the launcher use the Microsoft login option and log with that Microsoft account

I'm logging in with my microsoft account, through the microsoft account log in.

I've already migrated my account and it worked, because I played after it migrated. I've been having this issue after I changed to the new minecraft launcher they've released through the microsoft store, and I can't log in to Xbox Live through the Xbox app either.

I just wanna play minecraft-

For your Minecraft game, if you already have migrated your Minecraft account to a Microsoft account, it cannot be undone anymore. It will be permanently linked to the Microsoft account you used on the migration process.
