    How can I change it to his email instead of mine? I tried to change the email on my account to his and that didn't work. I now created his own microsoft account but no idea how to link it. I have tried all the support articles and still unable to do this. Please help?

    Trying to change email address on Minecraft account

    My daughter plays Minecraft under her brother's email address.

    My son plays Minecraft under my email address.

    Both children want to use their own email address without losing their profiles.

    I don't understand how adding an alias will work. I don't want to delete my Microsoft account. I want to change the email associated with Minecraft only.

    can i move a minecraft account from my microsoft account to my sons ?

    After getting a new Pc i no longer can log in to my minecraft account. I used my microsoft account with my sons minecraft account.

    Now i no longer have acces to my old email and cant log in on my minecraft account. On my old Pc we could switch between the different accounts.

    I bought my minecraft back in march 2011 and have literally placed and mined millions of blocks on my favorite MC server, Buying a new account is therefore not something i can do as this will not be associated with all my placements and removals in the server database. My sons account is from november 2014 and both hve been migrated from mojang accounts.

    So: I need my minecraft account to be linked to my microsoft account, and my sons to be linked to at new microsoft account we made for him.

    I tried for hours now to navigate the support section of Microsoft/Xbox/Mojang but it is a maze and i keep ending up on the same pages with info i cant use.

    Please, anyone.... how do i do this?

    Im loosing my mind here going in circles....

    Thanks

    Unfortunately nothing is transferable between accounts.

    My son was using my microsoft account to play minecraft. I have set up an email for him on his tablet and he now doesn't have access to the minecraft game.

    I believe this is not possible at the moment. Minecraft for Android is a single-user license that is tied to your Microsoft account. If you want to play with your son, you will need to purchase another license for his account or use a different device. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

    Hello Stefani Chies,

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you want to transfer your Minecraft game from your Microsoft account to your son's Microsoft account. I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with this process. To help you better, I have a few questions for you:



    - What device are you using to play Minecraft? Is it an Xbox console, a Windows PC, or a mobile device?

    - When you say you changed the email on your account to his, did you change the primary alias or the secondary alias?

    - When you created his own Microsoft account, did you use the same email address that you tried to change to on your account?

    - Have you tried signing in to Minecraft with his new Microsoft account and checking if the game is available?



    Please reply with the answers to these questions so that I can assist you further. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
