The migration process for Mojang accounts officially ended as of December 18, 2023. For more information about accounts compatible with supported platforms, see Accounts Required to Play Minecraft and Different Minecraft Editions.
What happened to my Java Edition account?
In an effort to increase account security and create a unified Minecraft ecosystem, a Minecraft: Java Edition migration from Mojang to Microsoft accounts was announced October 21, 2020. The migration grace period concluded December 18, 2023. As the migration period has ended, Minecraft Support will no longer assist with migration-related queries.
To continue playing Minecraft, you can purchase both Minecraft: Java Edition and Minecraft: Bedrock edition as one product on the Xbox Store or explore Different Minecraft Editions for other platforms.
What happened to my Minecraft: Java Edition worlds?
You may have Minecraft: Java edition single-player worlds stored on your hard drive but will not be able to play them until you purchase Minecraft: Java Edition using a Microsoft account.
If you create a new Microsoft account to play in an existing multiplayer world/server, you will join as a new player and spawn in at the world’s default spawn point with no items. If you had a base with items in it, you can then head there to regain any stored items.
What happened to my capes, skins, and username?
Capes and skins tied to previous Java Edition accounts are not recoverable. When you create a new account, you’ll have to create a new username; your previous username may or may not be available.
