IT House february 5 news, Minecraft developer Mojang Studio as early as the end of 2020 said that all Mojang accounts will transition to Microsoft accounts. The deadline for the transition is March 10, 2022. This means that Minecraft: Java Edition players and those using Minecraft Launcher on PC will soon need to have a Microsoft account.
Until recently, some gamers insisted on using their Mojang accounts to play the game. However, by March 10, such accounts will be deactivated. By the way, the Microsoft account required to play Minecraft: Java Edition is free, and the process is fairly simple. In addition, a blog post on Minecraft's official website notes that transitioning a Mojang account to a Microsoft account offers several benefits for players.
Some of these benefits include additional security with two-factor authentication, the ability to link different games in the Minecraft universe to the same account, improved parental controls, and the ability to block chat messages and invitations. Specifically, microsoft accounts will allow access to the launchers for Minecraft: Java Edition, Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, and Minecraft Dungeons, all through a single sign-on process.
Aside from the transition to a Microsoft account, there are no other changes in terms of gaming experience. All game data, including usernames, progress, creations, and skins, will be retained.
Minecraft: Java Edition is now available through PC Game Pass, along with Mojang's other Minecraft games, as well as the new unified Minecraft Launcher. Players who complete the migration process will be eligible for a free cape as a reward for their in-game characters. Players can redeem this cloak at any time. However, to ensure that the process is seamless, the developer recommends creating a free Microsoft account before the deadline.
