unlinking microsoft account from minecraft: bedrock without minecraft

veroluvsffxvi · Apr 12, 2025

hi,

so this is super confusing to explain but about a month ago i restarted my entire pc due to freezing and lagging, what i did not know was that i forgot to save the minecraft data from my pc. when i tried to redownload it, it wouldn't let me, but the only option was to buy the game again which i dont want to do. so im trying to figure out if there is any way i can unlink my Microsoft account from the game without actually having the game?

i really do need this help since i have so many worlds on that account and i am trying to link it into my playstation 4 to connect it.

please help

:)

Hi veroluvsffxvi,

I will move this to the right location as this forum is for Insiders beta install.

Unfortunately you will not be able to unlink a Microsoft account from a PS Network account without loosing the game entitlement.

Unfortunately, once you link a Microsoft account to a Minecraft account, I am afraid they cannot be unlinked!

If the purchase was from Minecraft Java there is no way she can log in without using her account information, but if the purchase is from Minecraft Bedrock, in the Microsoft store app login with the account that purchased the game and in the Xbox app with an account for her

When Minecraft stopped working, I used my Microsoft account. And this issue happened after I changed my main alias from E-Mail 2 to E-Mail 1. I can play Minecraft if I log in with my E-Mail 2.

I purchased Minecraft on my Mojang account before the migration, but I don't use my mojang account and that Microsoft account that was migrated to.

With my Mojang account (E-Mail 1) migrated to Microsoft account (E-Mail 4) I bad the Java Edition. With my first Microsoft account (E-Mail 1, now 3) I had Minecraft Bedrock Edition. And with the other MIcrosoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) I have both Java and Bedrock.

I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft Account (E-Mail 1, now 3) from the Microsoft Store and I purchased Minecraft Bedrock Edition on my Microsoft account (E-Mail 2, now 1) from the Microsoft Store but the Java Edition I purchased from minecraft.net. On my Mojang account (E-Mail 1, now migrated to Microsoft Account with E-Mail 3) I bought Minecraft Java from minecraft.net.
