Minecraft is telling me that I need to buy Java again

MrKrypt · Sep 25, 2022

I migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account, then signed in with my Microsoft account on the launcher. Now I'm stuck with my Xbox tag and the "PLAY DEMO" button. I went to Settings > Accounts and found my old Minecraft username with the "Migrate" button. Clicking on it just sent me to the msaprofile page. The website also seems to say that I need to buy Java. What in the world do I do? How do I get my Java account back?

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

It may mean you're using the incorrect Microsoft account or the migration isn't successful.

First, kindly try signing in to Mojang website using your previous Mojang account to check: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/profile

Once confirmed that it is already migrated, please sign out on your Minecraft launcher and then restart your PC before signing back in.

I figured out what went wrong before seeing this. On the website, I skipped making an Xbox gamertag, not realizing that it'd just cancel the whole migration. AKA, I made a new Microsoft account without actually migrating. It's fixed now, but thanks for putting time aside to help!

So I bought the bundle for both Java & Bedrock, and the computer I bought them on I can access both, but if I sign into the Minecraft launcher on a different device, I can only access Java, and it is trying to get me to buy the bundle a second time, keeps telling me that I only bought java.
