  1. My Minecraft username did not transfer during migration.


    I recently migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account. However, when I went to start Minecraft I was prompted to input a username. I put my old Mojang username in and it said it was taken. I'm kind of frustrated because I was told that my username would be transferred during migration. Is there any way to recover my old username?

    :)

    Mojang account Migration unsuccessful

    The problem is not logging in with my Microsoft account, I'm easily able to login, it's that my Mojang account did not migrate. No detail of my Mojang account was transferred and I'm essentially playing on a new account, none of my worlds transferred, my server progress, not even my username. My display username here is my old Mojang accounts username.

    why is minecraft asking me to change my username after updating the launcher?

    Hello Lewcio , I am an independent advisor and I will be happy to help you today. My name is Khaji

    Minecraft may ask you to change your username after updating the launcher due to several important reasons.

    - Account Migration: Mojang, the company that develops Minecraft, has been migrating Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts, During this process, you may be asked to change your username.

    - Username already in use: If your username is being used by another account, you may be asked to change it

    - Launcher Update: Some Minecraft launcher updates may require you to change your username.

    How do I recover my username after the Minecraft migration bugged ?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.
    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today despite this DJTECHELMET

    I don’t like to give bad news, but if the user already appears used is not possible to claim it back

    I don’t know exactly what happened when you did the migration process. But when you migrate the Mojang account everything should be transferred including the Minecraft username
