Check How to Migrate your Mojang account to Microsoft account on Minecraft
Mojang requires everyone to migrate their current Mojang account associated with Minecraft: Java Edition to a Microsoft account. It is a “slow release”, which means they are doing it in batches. You should have seen a message about this migration on your Minecraft launcher in the last few weeks. When it is your turn to migrate, you will receive a new message in your launcher informing you that you are eligible to migrate.
Migrate to a new Microsoft account
If you do not currently have a Microsoft account, please follow the steps below to create one and successfully migrate your Mojang account.
- Login to minecraft.net with your Mojang account and find the message IT’S YOUR TURN TO MOVE! on your profile page and click on MOVE MY ACCOUNT. The starter message about the migration will also redirect you to the profile page.
- You will need to verify your email upon receiving a code for the email that is currently in your Mojang account. Click GET CODE and check your email for the confirmation code.
- Enter the code in the box that appears and click SEND AND START MIGRATION.
- You will be prompted to create a new Microsoft account and password.
- You will then see a screen asking you to confirm your country and date of birth. This information will be pre-filled from your Mojang account.
- The next step will ask you to create your Xbox and Gamertag profile.
- Please note that your Microsoft Gamertag and Minecraft username are independent of each other, and additional information can be found here. Your Minecraft username will be transferred automatically.
- You will be taken to a final screen instructing you to COMPLETE THE MOVE IN and providing you with some additional details. You will also see a link that will allow you to go back and create or choose a different Microsoft account at this time.
- Once you’ve confirmed that you want to complete the move, that’s it! Your Minecraft account will have been migrated to your new Microsoft account and you will see the following confirmation message.
- When you restart the launcher for the first time after migration, you may be taken to the Mojang login screen, or a screen that still prompts you to migrate. Use the “Back” button OR the “X” to return to the login selection screen. Then, you will select ‘Microsoft Login’ to enter your new credentials.
Migrate to an existing Microsoft account
If you already have an active Microsoft account, follow these steps to migrate your Mojang account.

- If you do not have an existing Microsoft account, go back to the steps in the “New Microsoft account” section of this page to complete the migration.
- You will be asked to enter your Microsoft account password and confirm your existing Gamertag / profile.
