<p>For those who have been here long enough, you know what this means.&nbsp; Our Minecraft: Java Edition accounts are migrating for a second time.&nbsp; For those who have an account now, we will need to Migrate from a Mojang Account to a Microsoft account in early 2021.&nbsp; Starting later this fall, however, new accounts will already be required to create Microsoft accounts.&nbsp; I know change can be bothersome but Mojang does state some good points when making the switch.</p>
<ul>
<li>More account security.</li>
<li>All Minecraft accounts connected.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>Parents can have more control for the safety of their child/children</li>
<li>Chat and invitation blocking</li>
</ul>
<p>In the coming months Mojang will list out what exactly is needed and how to migrate your account, this will be mandatory if you wish to continue playing Minecraft: Java Edition.&nbsp; Here on the Forums, we will do our best to also help remind members of the upcoming switch as well as list the how-to/need-to-know for account Migration.&nbsp; For those who are Migrating Mojang Studios do have a nice added bonus, a cape!</p>
<p>To ensure that the Migration happens smoothly Mojang Studios will be migrating players in batches to hopefully make this an easy process for all.&nbsp; Make sure your emails are up to date for your Mojang account as you will receive instructions when it is time to Migrate.</p>
<p>For those worrying, Java Edition itself is not changing, it is only the account that you use to login that is changing.&nbsp; You will still keep your current names, new players will still be able to pick their name.&nbsp; Your login is just finding a new home.</p>
<p>For now, read over the FAQ Mojang has provided so far:&nbsp;<a href="https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360050865492-JAVA-Account-Migration-FAQ" rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank">https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/360050865492-JAVA-Account-Migration-FAQ</a></p>
