Minecraft recently completed its Mojang Migration to Microsoft, and if you missed the deadline to migrate your Mojang account, there are still options available for you. In this article, we will discuss the post-migration process frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help you navigate through the process.
I Missed my Chance to Migrate, What Now?
If you missed the chance to migrate your Mojang account, don’t worry. You still have one final option available. While you won’t be able to keep your skins or Java profile name, you can complete the post-migration process before December 18th, 2023, to experience Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition for PC with a Microsoft account.
Next Steps to Take
To begin the post-migration process, follow these steps:
1. Log in with your Mojang account email address. 2. Click on the “Verify Mojang Account Email Address” button and enter your Mojang account email address. 3. Click “Get Code” to receive a code in your Mojang email. Enter the code. 4. Enter a Microsoft account email address, either new or existing, and click “Submit Request.” 5. Check the box confirming that you understand your Mojang account will be deactivated. Double-check the displayed Microsoft account email. 6. Click “Finish.” 7. Receive an email confirming that your Microsoft account has been granted entitlement to Microsoft Java Edition and Minecraft Bedrock Edition. 8. Download the free Minecraft launcher from Minecraft.net or the Microsoft Store. 9. Log into your Microsoft account through the launcher and check that you have access to both Java and Bedrock editions.
Note: Child accounts will require assistance from their parent accounts to complete this process.
Haven’t Received my Email Confirmation Code
If you haven’t received your verification code after requesting it to your Mojang account email address, wait for up to 10 minutes and check your spam and trash folders. If you still haven’t received the code, go back to step 2 and click “Get Code” again.
Can I Use a Microsoft Account that Already Owns Bedrock or Java Edition?
No, you cannot complete the post-migration process with a Microsoft account that already owns either Bedrock or Java Edition. Each account needs to have its own separate email address.
Why did Users Need to Migrate?
Users needed to migrate their Mojang accounts to a Microsoft account to enjoy increased account security and new safety features while playing Minecraft.
What happened to my Capes, Skins, Username, and Other Content?
Any capes, skins, and other content tied to your Mojang account will be deleted. However, usernames will be released at a later date. If you choose not to go through the post-migration process, your account will be deleted along with your personal information at a later date. If you wish to request immediate deletion of your personal information, contact Minecraft support.
What about my Java Worlds?
The post-migration process does not affect your Java worlds. You will still have access to them after completing the process.
What do I Gain from going through the Post-Migration Process?
By going through the post-migration process, you gain the opportunity to continue playing Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition for PC with a Microsoft account. While you may lose some content tied to your Mojang account, the process ensures increased account security and new safety features.
In conclusion, if you missed the chance to migrate your Mojang account, you still have the option to complete the post-migration process and continue playing Minecraft with a Microsoft account. Follow the steps provided and ensure you have a separate Microsoft email address for each account. Enjoy the enhanced security and features that come with the migration process.
