Move Minecraft Java Edition to another Microsoft Account

hey Jesse, at least, there is any possible way to change the gamertag without paying money? xbox gamertag, not minecraft

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Unfortunately that isn't possible. Games cannot be transferred from one account to another.

Hope this helps.

Hello, Nicole!

As of now, it seems that the ability to transfer a Minecraft account from one Microsoft account to another is not directly supported. This is likely due to security reasons and to prevent misuse of accounts.

However, Mojang Studios has been transitioning Minecraft Java Edition players from Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts. This move is aimed at improving safety and security in the Java Edition of the game. After moving, Java players will get several new features such as increased account security with two-factor authentication, single account login for all PC-based Minecraft games, and improved parental controls.

If you’re facing issues with your account or need further assistance, I recommend reaching out to Mojang Support for more detailed guidance.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew a way to move a minecraft java account from one microsoft email to another. I made a minecraft java account with the deal for minecraft bedrock. It is already on a microsoft account and I wondered if there is a way to move it to a different one as I have some important things on that email and would like minecraft separate from these things. If anyone knows, please tell me. Thanks

Nothing is transferable between accounts.

Hello,



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

We understand that you're having trouble logging into your Minecraft Java account. It sounds like there may be some confusion with your email address and account information.



For us to be on the same page, may we know when did you migrated your Minecraft account to Microsoft account?

We would like to show you a timeline of the migration process so you will be aware of what could have happened to your Minecraft Java:

• 10/21/2020 - Minecraft Support first announce migration of Java to Microsoft account. (You will get to keep your Minecraft Java username.)
  
  • Java Edition is moving house | Minecraft
    
• 3/10/2022 - Last call to voluntary migrates Java accounts.
  
  • Last call to voluntarily migrate Java accounts | Minecraft
    
• 9/19/2023 - Last call to migration of Mojang account to Microsoft account with access of Minecraft: Bedrock Edition for Windows and free cape. This allows you to access to both Java and Bedrock editions and unmigrated Mojang accounts will not be able to sign in to Minecraft.net or the Minecraft Launcher to migrate.
  
  • Account migration last call | Minecraft
    
• 12/18/2023 - End of post-migration process - You no longer have access to your Java Edition account or Minecraft: Java Edition. Your capes and skins were tied to your previous Java Edition account and are not recoverable. Usernames will not be released until a later date.
