Post Mojang to Microsoft Minecraft account migration, do I need to purchase the windows...

That’s odd because if this is the Minecraft for Windows it will be purchased through Microsoft Store. The Minecraft that can be purchased through Mojang is Minecraft Java Edition.

Kindly make sure that you’re signed in under the account where the Mojang account was migrated. Please try other Microsoft accounts as well.

Hi Антонио. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. In early 2021, Mojang started the process of migrating Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts. This was done as Microsoft's account system is more secure, and to make it easier to sign in.

This migration period ended on September 19, 2023. To ensure all your Minecraft account data transfered to your Microsoft account, you had to migrate your account before this date. However, players were given another chance to transfer their Minecraft license to a Microsoft account via the post-migration process.

The post-migration ended on December 18, 2023, and it is no longer possible to sign in with a Mojang account or migrate to a Microsoft account. If you did not migrate your Mojang account to a Microsoft account before December 18, 2023, I'm afraid you will need to purchase Minecraft again using your Microsoft account. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi Edrich, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

I apologize but migrating your Mojang account to Microsoft account will not give us free Minecraft for Windows. If you migrate your Mojang account to a Microsoft account that has been used to play Bedrock (on any platform), then yes—you'll be able to access both games with that account. This is if you already purchased the Game on your Microsoft account, if not, you need to purchase the game.

Hello Wayne Lau1，



Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Mojang accounts were migrated for a period of time with the aim of moving all players' Minecraft accounts under Microsoft accounts. This migration process involved transferring data and game information related to Mojang accounts to the new Microsoft account system. During the migration, players will receive detailed instructions and steps on how to perform the migration via email. This means that during the migration process, players only need to follow the guidelines to seamlessly transfer their Minecraft game progress, purchase history, and other account information to their Microsoft account.



However, with the passage of time, the deadline for Minecraft account migration has ended and new Mojang account migration requests are no longer being accepted. In other words, you will no longer be able to log in to Minecraft using your old Mojang account. all players must access and log in to Minecraft through their Microsoft account. as a result of this change, any players who have not completed the account migration will no longer be able to continue to play with their original Mojang account.



In order to continue playing, you will need to log in to Minecraft with a Microsoft account, and if you don't already have a Microsoft account, you can easily create one and associate it with your Minecraft game. Note that the only way to purchase Minecraft is through a Microsoft account, so if you wish to repurchase or continue using Minecraft, it is recommended that you purchase and use a Microsoft account to play the game.



To summarize, with the migration process complete, Microsoft accounts are now the only way to log in to Minecraft. We recommend creating and using a Microsoft account to purchase and log into Minecraft as soon as possible.



You can also contact the support staff of the corresponding game to find out why.



Best regards

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

I would recommend to wait until the summer, as there's an offer coming that will give you access to both editions without purchasing the other edition
