How do I know if my Minecraft account is migrated?

To determine if your Minecraft account is migrated, you will need to log in to the Minecraft home page and check your account settings, as the only way to confirm migration is through the Minecraft launcher and your profile page on minecraft.net. You can also check if you have received a notification through the Minecraft launcher or on your profile page, which will indicate that your account has been migrated to a Microsoft account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Migration Process

1. What happens to my Minecraft account after migration?: After migrating your Minecraft account to a Microsoft account, you will no longer need your Mojang account, and you will use your Microsoft account to log in to the Minecraft Launcher and manage your settings on minecraft.net.
2. How do I confirm my Microsoft account migration in Minecraft?: To confirm your Microsoft account migration, log in to minecraft.net with your Mojang account and find the prompt IT’S YOUR TURN TO MOVE!, then verify your email by receiving a code and enter it in the box shown, and click SUBMIT AND START MIGRATION.

Account Management

3. How to find out what email I migrated my Minecraft account to?: If you forgot which email you used to create your Microsoft account for migration, you will need to speak with Microsoft support to recover the email address used to sign up.

Account Security

5. Why did I lose Minecraft after migrating?: Please double-check that you are logging in to the same Microsoft account you used to migrate your Mojang account, and make sure you are not logging in with your Mojang account, as migrated accounts will only be able to log in with your Microsoft account.
