Mojang and Microsoft Minecraft accounts linked to same email.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Burdley, it seems to me that it has two issues in its description, in the case of the license of the game it is not possible to switch to another email account.

How to Migrate Your Mojang Account to a Microsoft Account

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

Yes it is the same account. Infact its the same email. my Mojang account uses the same email as my Microsoft account. This only started happening when Microsoft stated they would be merging accounts with Mojang.

I did the process of merging and now I no longer own minecraft.

Hi so I did not buy minecraft on my minecraft account. I first made the account on a mojang account and then transfered it to microsoft so I was wondering if it was possible to move the linked microsoft email to my new email since the old one got closed.

Hi Arif! My name is Darhlene and I’m here to assist you.

Try to locate the Microsoft account that is linked to your Minecraft account.

Once you have found the Microsoft account to which your Minecraft account was linked, you can proceed to perform the post-migration process.

Here's how to find the Microsoft account where your Minecraft was linked:

1. Sign in using this link: https://account.microsoft.com/
2. Select the 'Payment & billing' tab
3. Check your Order History.
4. Look for the Minecraft transaction.

You can complete the following post-migration process before December 18, 2023, to experience Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC with a Microsoft account:

1. Log-in with your Mojang account email address here.
2. Click on the 'verify Mojang account email address' button.
a. Enter your Mojang account email address. Next, click ‘Get Code’ and a code will be sent to your Mojang email address.
b. Enter the code.
3. Enter a Microsoft account email address.
a. This email address can be from a new or existing Microsoft account that you own.
b. Click ‘Submit Request’.
4. Check the box next to ‘I understand that my Mojang account will be deactivated’.
> Double-check that the Microsoft account email displayed is correct.
5. Click ‘Finish’.
6. Receive an email confirming that we’ve granted your Microsoft account an entitlement to Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
7. Download the free Minecraft Launcher through either Minecraft.net or the Microsoft Store. This article provides more details on how to download the Launcher.
8. Log into your Microsoft account through the Launcher and check that you have access to both Java and Bedrock.

Hi Manuela,

Thank you very much for the reply.

The issue persisted even after your suggested fixes...

But I contacted Mojang support and after a quick conversation there was a crucial detail that led me to finally recover my account!

I'll leave it here in case anyone else has the same issue:

Basically when I migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account, it ended up linking it to a Microsoft account in a different domain.

In my particular case, my Mojang account was linked to a gmail account. After the migration I know have a Microsoft account with that exact domain!

(e.g., the Microsoft account's email is literally <...>@gmail.com).

Try to login with "Microsoft Account" in the Minecraft launcher, but then use the email you used on Mojang!

After months of headaches this is a huge relief...
