Minecraft invalid code in mojang

When I sign in to Microsoft to edit my mojang account, it gives me no options for minecraft java. I sign into my microsoft account in the mojang launcher and I'm met with "invalid account" responses.

They recommend you contact Mojang with regards to code issues.

Having issues with your Minecraft for Windows 10 code?

If you're having issues with your code that you got from your Mojang account, please
contact Mojang Support.

When you redeemed your Java Minecraft on Mojang, you have gotten a 5x5 code to redeem Minecraft on the Windows 10 store.

This redemption is a separate service of your Mojang account, and it's possible to use a Microsoft Account email that is different from your Mojang account email.

Mojang (which gives you Java Minecraft) is separate from the Microsoft Windows Store App, which uses a Microsoft Account email when you redeemed that 5x5 code.

After redemption of that code, the Windows 10 Minecraft is tied to the Microsoft Account email you used on your Windows 10 PC. From then on, you don't really need the Mojang account anymore, if you only want to play on Windows 10. You will then get the game
from the Windows 10 store only, with the E-Mail account you used on the Windows 10 store during code redemption.

So make sure you are signed in with the Microsoft Account email (which might not necessarily be the Mojang account email) when you use the Windows 10 Store app to re-download your Windows 10 Minecraft again.

Hi iFrancoQrz,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums for this issue with Minecraft. If you had previously received a code from Mojang for the Windows 10 version of Minecraft (as you purchased the Java edition prior to October 19th, 2018), but it is reading
as being redeemed, then you'll need to contact Mojang Support to request a new code if you have not previously redeemed the code yourself. Sadly, Microsoft/Xbox does not issue the codes in this case and Mojang is very good at rectifying the situation when
possible.

When you initially received the code from Mojang, did you happen to redeem it on a different computer or Microsoft account? If there is a chance that this is possible, then you may wish to check the purchase history of any of your other accounts to
see if the code was redeemed on them.

I hope that this helps you out.

I don't agree with Microsoft forcing Minecraft users to switch from a Mojang account to a Microsoft account. They could easily add two-factor authentication to the existing Mojang account service so that argument is invalid. I can't help but feel that they've wanted to do this ever since Microsoft acquired Mojang back in 2014. Eventually, I believe they will also remove the Java Edition of Minecraft, perhaps in the next few years or so. This will force all existing players to buy the Bedrock edition which will generate a lot of revenue for Microsoft. I've had a blast with the game and if they want to delete my account because I refused to migrate then I say let them.

Ok..............thanks for sharing.
