My minecraft account was hacked, can I get it back using my in game java account name?

Hello Ethan Carreon1,



Thank you for sharing your concern here in Xbox Community Forum and we hope that all is well.



As it was put into detailed that your Mojang account was already migrated to Microsoft account, and it is sad to hear that it was hacked. We understand how much time and effort you have invested for your account to play Minecraft and lose access due to this incident. Let us see how we can help.



We would like to set your expectation ahead that Microsoft accounts are fully managed and handled by an automated server and we don't have manual access to it because Microsoft really takes our security and privacy very seriously. This means that moderators and advocates can't do more than you can do for yourself with the account recovery form. We do not have the ability to send password reset links or provide other ways to access or change account details.

To ensure that you can find resolution on this account issue, you may use the login help tool. You will need to read the instructions on this site and there is a way for you to contact the live support team too. Link: Sign in Help Tool

We are positive that you’ll get more relevant information and best resolution to your concern.

Hi, i am able to login to my microsoft account fine, but when i login to the minecraft launcher now it says i dont own minecraft java anymore and i know it was hacked because my friend said someone changed my minecraft name.

I did not understand, my friend. Your hacked account had Minecraft Java. Then, after it got hacked, you created another account and was given Minecraft for Windows? Microsoft or Mojang gave you Minecraft for Windows or how this happened?

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).

Yes, one of my Microsoft accounts DOES show up as owning the game. However it also has a "Profile Name" button under the Minecraft Java section on the My Games tab, and it tells me that my username is already taken when I enter the username I was using on my Java account before migration.
