    Minecraft - mysterious account switches


    Hi

    My son used to play Minecraft on an iPad, on his own microsoft account. I set up a minecraft server on a PC, and we both could connect to worlds hosted on the PC from inside and outside of the network.

    He bought various items and had some coins left in his account.

    I bought a second hand XBOX one, and set it up. He repurchased minecraft on his account, I got the email saying he wanted to buy it, I authorised it, then got an email saying he'd bought it for me. Loaded up on the xbox one and all his worlds, coins and purchases were there on his profile.

    We then switched off for the night.

    Now, all his stuff is on my account? on the IPad I have his coins, and purchases. He has nothing - very bizarre but not the main issue.

    On the XBOX One, both profiles say we're not set up right to connect to realms, and the server list says it has 6 options, but the list is blank except for a white line down the middle.

    I've reset the xbox to factory default, and loaded in everything again. microsoft accounts are set to allow everything now, there's nothing left to allow, but still nothing. I even changed the connection from wireless to wired - I have only seen one posting with the same problem, with no answer but the thread was locked.

    Please help!!

    :)

    It keeps sending invites to my phone

    By a switch I meant a Nintendo switch and when I get Minecraft invites instead of going to my Nintendo switch it instead goes to my mobile account on minecraft

    Check your settings to make sure notifications are enabled as I have had them mysteriously switch off after an update, etc.

    I am eligible to get bedrock edition for free because I bought Java edition in January 2022. How do I set up bedrock edition on my Nintendo switch for free?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good morning

    To set up Bedrock Edition on your Nintendo Switch for free after purchasing Java Edition in January 2022, you will need to follow these steps:

    Log in to your Mojang account on the official Minecraft website.

    Go to your account settings and look for the "Claim your free copy of Minecraft" option.

    Select the "Redeem" button next to the Nintendo Switch option.

    You will be prompted to enter your Nintendo Switch account details.

    Once you have entered your Nintendo Switch account details, the Bedrock Edition will be added to your account.

    Go to the Nintendo eShop on your Switch and search for "Minecraft."

    Download and install the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft.

    Hello Ally.C,

    Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community. Just a reminder, here on Microsoft community we are not able to process any account recovery/migration and we do not have any hold with accounts since we do not have authorization due to privacy and safety purposes.

    I understand your frustration with the current situation. Upon checking, Minecraft accounts are managed by Mojang, and they have specific policies in place regarding account management. However, you can try contacting Mojang support directly to see if they can assist you with changing the email associated with your account. You can reach Mojang support through their website or by emailing them at support@mojang.com(Home | Minecraft Help). They may require some form of verification to confirm your identity before making any changes to your account.

    Hope I helped!
