My Mojang Account Won't Show up in the Minecraft Launcher

TehKitteh · May 27, 2022

I downloaded the Minecraft launcher via the Microsoft Store for the first time, and it won't let me play Java after signing in. I noticed that it says that I have no Mojang account connected to my Microsoft account, but I know I do because I play Minecraft Bedrock on PS4 all the time, and I played Java edition with the old launcher (the version you download off the website) just the other week on a different computer just fine. I read another help thread that said I needed to "add an account" but I don't see any option like that. When I try to add a Mojang account, it won't let me sign in because it says I already have that account migrated, so that confirms it is indeed migrated, it just won't show up in the launcher. If I can't get it to work, I guess I can use the old launcher, but I was planning to purchase Windows 10 edition sometime in the future, so I'd have to give up that dream if I did. If anyone could help me to play Minecraft in the new launcher, that would be awesome.

Hi TehKitteh! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

On the launcher you will have 2 options to login in the java section, you need to use the Microsoft login and you have to use the account to which you migrated your Mojang account to

Log in the same account on the Microsoft store app and Xbox app

If you have any error please take a screenshot and sahre it

The account that made the purchase most log in the Microsoft store app, and get the new launcher, it's free, that Microsoft store wont show the purchase of Minecraft if was trough Mojang site but will work trough the launcher

I purchased the Java version of minecraft from my Mojang account which was created with my email (the same email which is now the primary of my ms and xbox account), and any time I try to go to repurchase it on the Mojang website, it will show as I own it and need to download the launcher

Please log in the Microsoft store app with the Microsoft account you use to Migrate your Mojang account, look for the Minecraft launcher and next to the play button will be a get button, the launcher is free, you won't need to pay for it
