Heyo! So, I have literally no idea where to put this, so…… here it is.

As I’m pretty sure everyone is now aware, Microsoft decided to drop some ban-hammer-ness on anyone that wasn’t using their accounts. They, of course, allowed people to switch their accounts. The issue is… well, some of us don’t have access to our emails anymore (cough cough), and as such, cannot transfer. Also, Microsoft isn’t exactly helpful in any way, shape, or form, so….. yeah, no luck in getting a transfer. I know it’s a been a month now, but with no luck transferring account, I have a new account, and I was wondering if there was any way to transfer anything between accounts. If not, I would ask if I could at least be allowed to use this account instead of my now-impossible-to-use previous account.

For sake of clarity, my old account was PIPPIP5789. My new account is PIPPIP578 (go figure). I’ll be happy to fill out more information if need be.

If neither of these are allowed, I’ll be fine with that, but I wanted to go ahead and at least ask, as I figure it couldn’t hurt. If not, thank you PMC for all the memories, and I’ll hope to one day see you again.

Peace for all! Why do we descend into the chaos of our lives when we could live in harmony, without bloodshed, violence, or death? I will protect and defend my crew, my family, and let them enjoy as much peace as my life can offer.

Yeah, I did, but all receipts are on said email I cannot access, therefore making me unable to use them. I was told the same thing through Microsoft/Mojang… the issue is that I was so young when I got it, I had no idea to keep a separate record of it, and my parents didn’t either, so…. yeah, no luck there. As for contacting the email provider, for various reasons, I cannot access them either. I’ve went through every channel I can possibly find to get my account transferred, but there’s no possible way.

Just to reiterate, if it’s too much trouble to transfer my stuff, don’t worry about it. As much as I’d like to, it won’t kill me to not play anymore, and there’s no point in this if it’s going to be a lot of extra work for you guys.

In short, to answer your question, I did buy it through MC.net, but no, I have no way to access the receipts to use to help me transfer.

Yes. This is why I made this thread before it happened and warned everyone on Discord.

Mojang enforcing Java Minecraft accounts be Microsoft Accounts with Moderation

I preemptively, predicted these issues.

You will be able to gain access to your account by contacting Mojang, but you need to be persistent & proactive. You will need your initial payment method, you may be able to search your bank account records for “mojang” or the cost of the Minecraft account at the time.

data is scattered across multiple files/database tables, there is no easy way to “transfer”, its all manual and all takes a long time. Which is why I posted out warnings to everyone to act sooner rather than later.

You will definitely be allowed to play on your new account, dont worry about that. but the best option for everyone is for you to contact Mojang with your purchase details and get the email changed.

If you are unable to change your Mojang account email, have your transaction ID or gift code available and contact Minecraft support.
