How To Migrate Your Minecraft - Java Edition Mojang Account To A Microsoft Account

how to migrate your Minecraft Java edition Mojang account to a Microsoft account .

If you have recently come back to Minecraft after a long hiatus , you may have noticed that you are automatically logged out of Minecraft when you attempt to log into your MOJ account .

This is because Minecraft now requires all Mojang accounts to migrate over to Microsoft accounts .

In this video , I'm going to be showing you how to migrate over your MOJ account to a Microsoft account .

First , I'm just going to show you what happens when you try to log in to your Mojang account .

The first thing I'm going to do is double click on my Minecraft launcher to open it .

Once the Minecraft launcher has opened , you have two methods that you can log into Minecraft .

The first method is to log in via your Microsoft account and the second method is to log in via Mojang .

Of course , guys , I have a Mojang account , so I'm going to left click on Mojang Login and I'm going to enter my Mojang account email address and password .

Once done , I'm going to left click on log in .

And as you can see , I'm immediately greeted with a red warning message at the top right hand corner of my launcher , which says , You are logged out because the active Mojang account needs to migrate to a Microsoft account to continue playing all right , guys .

So now I'll take you through the process of migrating your Mojang account to a Microsoft account .

You can start the migration process in two ways .

The first way is to navigate to the bottom of the launcher , and , as you can see here says , trying to log in with a MOJ account , you'll need to migrate to a Microsoft account to log in , and you can click on this hyperlink text here to get started .

Or you can simply go back on your launcher here .

And then you'll see your Mojang account user name and your email address tied to that account and then right beside it , there's a button here which says , migrate , and you can simply left click on the migrate button .

I'm going to be going with this option , guys , so I'm simply going to left click on Migrate .

Once you've done that , you'll be greeted with a small window which says , sign out and migrate and then your mojo accounts user name .

Click continue and migrate to sign your associated Mojang account out of the launcher and complete your migration on Minecraft dot net .

You have the option to cancel or continue and migrate .

I'm going to left , click on Continue and Migrate .

Your default browser will then open , taking you to a login page on Minecraft dot net .

You'll need to log into your MOJ account , so I'm just going to enter my Mojang account details here , guys .

Once you've done that , click log in .

You'll then be logged into your MOJ account at the very top .

It says Minecraft Java Edition has moved in with the rest of the Minecraft family .

You'll need to migrate to continue playing .

Don't worry , your skins creations progress and user name will still be there .

When you log in with your new account in just five easy steps , we'll move your MOJ account to a Microsoft account .

The first step is to confirm your email address , set up your Microsoft account , set up your Xbox profile link it accounts and finally play Minecraft Java Edition .

What do you get with this move ?

With this move , you'll get improved account security .

One account for all Minecraft games , improved parental controls and a special cape , and you can see the cape on the right hand side here to start moving your Mojang account to a Microsoft account .

Click on Let's start moving .

Let's make sure it's really you Before we migrate your account .

We'll need to verify your email by sending a confirmation code .

Click on Get Code and your code .

We just sent you an email with seven character confirmation code .

Please enter it below , so I'm just going to go into my emails and grab that confirmation code .

All right , guys , I've got it now , so I'm just going to paste that in , and then I'm going to click , submit and start migration .

Next , you'll need to create or choose the Microsoft account that you'd like to upgrade your Mojang account to .

As you can see , guys , Microsoft is already picking up that I might already have a Microsoft account , which I do indeed have for this video demonstration .

However , I going to be upgrading to another account , so I'm going to click on use another account .

Now I'll need to enter the details of my Microsoft account that I'm going to migrate my Mojang account to .

So as you can see , Microsoft says after this move , you will use your Microsoft account to sign into Minecraft .

All of your game data will be just as you left .

And of course , guys , if you don't have a Microsoft account , you'll need to create one by clicking on Create one for me .

I'm going to enter in my Microsoft account details Now and then I'm going to hit next , and then I'm going to enter in my password and then click on Sign in .

I'm going to click Yes on Stay signed in .

Once done , you'll be taken back to a page on Minecraft dot net , which says , almost there , time to move your skins , creations and everything else to your Microsoft account .

My current gamer tag is this underneath it says complete move .

And underneath that , it says , After this , you'll access your data and play Minecraft Java edition with your Microsoft account .

If you want to move your Mojang account to a different Microsoft account , you can click here to go back to your profile .

I'm happy with the Microsoft account that I've moved my Mojang account from , So I'm going to click on complete move .

Once you've clicked on complete move , you'll be logged into your Minecraft profile .

And as you can see at the very top here , it says , Move complete .

Next time you sign in on Minecraft dot net or in the Minecraft launcher , make sure to use your Microsoft account .

I'm just going to click on Got it Here .

And now that we have completed our move , guys , I'm just going to close out of our browser to be taken back to our Minecraft launcher .

And now , instead of logging in with the MOJ login method , I'm going to log in with the Microsoft login method .

So I'm just going to click on Microsoft Login .

Once done , you'll need to log into your Microsoft account the same one that you moved your MOJ account to .

For me guys , I'm already logged in to the Microsoft account connected to my Windows 11 PC .

So I'm simply going to left click on switch account and then under where it says , use a different account .

I'm going to click on Microsoft account and then click on Continue .

Once done , I'll enter the login details of my Microsoft account and then click on next and then I'll enter the password and click sign in if you haven't set up windows Hello .

With your Microsoft account , you'll need to set it up to proceed .

Microsoft hello Allows you to easily and securely access apps with the Microsoft account .

You just migrated your MOJ account to you need to set it up with windows .

Hello , face , fingerprint or pin ?

If you already have it set up , we will automatically add it for this account .

You may be asked to re verify with windows .

Hello for me , guys .

I already have windows .

Hello .

Set up on another account .

However , I haven't added it to this account yet .

Windows will do that for me automatically .

If I simply click on OK , you'll then be greeted with a window called Windows Security .

So I'm just going to enter my windows .
