Minecraft on Nintendo won’t login to Microsoft account

Hi Mossy,

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums.

Minecraft purchases won't sync between your Nintendo account and Microsoft account if you don't have an Xbox Live Gamertag made with your Microsoft Account. Login with your Microsoft Account from https://account.xbox.com/
and make sure you have a Gamertag, then try logging into Minecraft again with your Microsoft Account.

If you are still having issues with the purchases not appearing, then you would need to contact Nintendo customer support to confirm the purchases were completed as Xbox or Microsoft customer support would not have access to your Nintendo account billing
history.

Hi John,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums! I understand that you have created separate Microsoft accounts for your kids. Minecraft on Nintendo Switch does seem to have different log-in instructions compared to console or pc. I am linking the Minecraft site so that you can check out the official Microsoft account login instructions. Minecraft and Microsoft Accounts | Minecraft

Here's a step-by-step guide that may help you locate it:

Go to the official Minecraft website and click on the "Log in" button in the top right-hand corner of the page.

Enter your Mojang account login details and click on the "Log in" button.

Once you have logged in, you should see a navigation menu at the top of the page. Click on the "Games" tab.

In the dropdown menu that appears, click on "Minecraft."

Scroll down the Minecraft page until you see the "Minecraft for Nintendo Switch" section.

Next to the "Minecraft for Nintendo Switch" section, there should be a button labeled "Redeem." Click on this button.

You will then be prompted to log in to your Nintendo account. Follow the instructions to log in to your Nintendo account.

After you have logged in to your Nintendo account, you will be redirected back to the Mojang website. You should see a message confirming that your free copy of Minecraft Bedrock Edition has been added to your Nintendo account.

On your Nintendo Switch, go to the Nintendo eShop and search for "Minecraft." Select "Minecraft" from the search results and click on "Download" to download and install Minecraft Bedrock Edition on your Nintendo Switch.

Same issue here. If I log into Minecraft on my Nintendo switch under my Nintendo account, I can see the DLC. But it will not sync over to my Microsoft account to be able to play on different devices.

Has anyone had luck syncing purchases made with a Nintendo account to a Microsoft account in Minecraft marketplace?

Ok so I can login on the Microsoft home page and Xbox but if I go to the Xbox app on computer it won’t let me sign in same if I go into Minecraft the game it won’t let me sign in also sorry for the late reply
