  1. Unable to play Minecraft after I added phone number to my new Microsoft account


    Hello,

    Earlier this year I bought Minecraft Java edition and created an account with my mobile phone number (no email addr. linked).

    A couple of weeks ago I created a Microsoft account separately for Outlook and stuff.

    Today I added my phone number (the same as I used for Minecraft) and after that I haven't been able to play Minecraft since it doesn't recognize the earlier account that I used to buy the Minecraft licence.

    Please help!

    :)

    Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

    My name is welcome to the community.

    Hello Juha, The Minecraft license is attached to the account that was purchased, if it was the account you created with the phone number, you'll have to play and log in through it.

    The fact that you create another account, and attach esthed the phone number to the account, does not transfer to the game, nor does it merge accounts.

    Unable to play Minecraft after I added phone number to my new Microsoft account

    Yes, I understand that. The problem is that when I try to log into my original Minecraft account (the one I created first and only using my phone number) the system recognizes me with my new account (the one that doesn't have Minecraft license). Therefore I'm unable to play :/

    So, the question is: what should I do to restore my phone number to the first created account?

    I don't have any other means to restore the first account since it was created with mobile number and no email address was linked.

    Hello, I can confirm I have tried all these methods including a different phone number, the issue I’m having is that I can’t continue after proving I’m not a robot, I can only press cancel
