Transferring MineCoins to Nintendo Switch

Sign into your Microsoft account on the switch

Hello Francine Idowu,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

We totally understand that you want to get your Minecoins on your Nintendo Switch account. Have you tried restarting your Nintendo Switch console to see if the Minecoins appear? If not, please try that first.



If the Minecoins still do not appear, please ensure that you have linked your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account. You can do this by following these steps:



1. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch

2. Select "Sign In" from the main menu

3. Select "Sign in with a Microsoft Account"

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account



If you have already linked your accounts and the Minecoins still do not appear, please contact Microsoft support for further assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and ensure that your Minecoins are properly linked to your Nintendo Switch account.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

If you used Microsoft balance the best option is view and access to the coins is opening the game on Xbox console
Once opened you can purchase the desired thing in the marketplace
And only after that you are going to be able to see the item purchased in the marketplace in your Nintendo Switch ready to be downloaded

But before that the minecoins are not going to appear in the Switch.
The same happens if you purchase minecoins on switch and then you access to a different platform without purchasing the content itself in the marketplace

Hello Mommabee0214,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you want to transfer Minecoins from a Microsoft account to a Minecraft account on a Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment. Minecoins are tied to the platform where they were purchased and cannot be transferred across different devices or accounts. You can only use Minecoins on the same platform and account where you bought them.

Please see: Minecraft Marketplace FAQ | Xbox Support

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. If you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us again. Have a great day!
