•Update, March 10, 2022, at 2:20 p.m. CT
•In the past, Minecraft: Java Edition players have used specialized Mojang Accounts to access their game.
•Mojang Studios announced in 2020 its intention to migrate all these accounts to Microsoft Accounts for security, integration, and more.
•On Friday, the company announced the deadline for migrating your account voluntarily is Mar. 10, 2022.
•After Mar. 10, a Microsoft Account will be required to access and play Minecraft: Java Edition on PC.
Near the end of 2020, Mojang Studios, the creators of Minecraft, announced its latest efforts to integrate into its parent company, Microsoft. This meant the retiring of Mojang Accounts—used by players to access and play Minecraft: Java Edition and the Minecraft Launcher on PC—and migrating users to more secure and seamless Microsoft Accounts. On Friday, the company revealed the deadline for this migration.
After Mar. 10, 2022, a Microsoft Account will be required to play Minecraft: Java Edition. Players now have a limited amount of time to voluntarily migrate their older Mojang Accounts before they are required to sign in with a Microsoft Account in order to play Minecraft. This is the completion of an extended process announced back in Oct. 2020.
