Minecraft Java account and profile gone! Help Please

Hi! I'm Rostom, an Independent Advisor. I will be glad to help you here.

Please be informed that Minecraft Java and Bedrock editions are two different versions of Minecraft. Only the Bedrock edition is using the Xbox's account system for multiplayer, that is why it's linked to your Xbox account itself. For Xbox account gamertag, you can change it directly on https://account.xbox.com/Profile by editing your gamertag there. Please note that you will be assigned with suffixes of numbers as an identifier if the gamertag you're trying to claim is not unique. Please learn more here https://support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/p...

Please refer to the link below on how to change your Minecraft Java username.

Hello Corrigan,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



It must have been a big relief that you successfully access your account back after it was being a hacked. For the Microsoft account concern we can assist you with the process of how to recover it. However, for the Minecraft Java username or profile name, only Minecraft support team has tools regarding this feature. This Minecraft Java profile name is an in-game feature for Minecraft. For more details, please see this support article: Minecraft: Java Edition Profile Name VS Gamertag FAQ | Minecraft Help.

It looks like you need to wait for 30 days before you can change the Minecraft Java profile name.



For queries and concern about Minecraft Java profile name, please reach out to Minecraft support. Link: Submit a request – Home (minecraft.net).



Sincerely,

Hi Maya M! I hope you are well, delighted to be able to offer you my help!

I'm sorry to hear that you are having this problem, so you should select a new Java profile name and try again. If you are still having trouble selecting a unique Java profile name, please contact Minecraft support.

Hello Mugen Gum,



Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



It appears that you are trying to reuse your Java profile name that was used before. Let us check and see on what we can do to help resolve your concern in a timely manner.

As per the game developer support team, how you log in depends on your account type, either with a Minecraft account, a Mojang account, or a Microsoft account.

• Legacy Minecraft accounts that have not yet been migrated – login with a Java profile name.
  
• Any account created after late 2012, or one that has been migrated from the old account format, is a Mojang account - login with an email address.
  
• Purchased Minecraft: Java Edition after December 1, 2020 - login with a Microsoft account.
  

For legacy Minecraft accounts, you log in with your Java profile name instead of an email. If you have a legacy account and forgot your username, contact Minecraft Support. 

• For a Mojang account, your Minecraft Java profile name will be shown in-game, on your Mojang account page or on the launcher itself. 
  
• For Microsoft account, your Minecraft Java profile name will be shown in-game, on your account page or on the launcher itself. Microsoft account page
  

If we may ask, are you using Microsoft account when playing Minecraft Java Edition before? Is your game played not in demo mode? Let us know so we can move forward.
