Mojang Accounts Migrating to Microsoft Accounts

[Spacedeck 915]

Some information for those who have Mojang accounts.  It looks like Mojang accounts have to be transferred over to Microsoft accounts in the near future.  I don't know if this will affect anyone here but just a heads up as it sounds like if it isn't migrated, it could be lost.

Now just to be clear, migrating from Mojang to Microsoft accounts is mandatory. If you don’t make the move, in several months you won’t be able to log in anymore – which means you won’t be able to play either. But no need to worry, because we’ll give you detailed and clear instructions on how to do so.

So when will this transition happen? If you already have Java or a Mojang account, you will have to start moving accounts in early 2021. New players who are getting Java for the first time will create Microsoft accounts rather than Mojang accounts starting this fall.
