Info Regarding Minecraft to Microsoft Account Migration

i wont recommend playing modded on the official launcher, use twitch or ftb, as for technic idk (meaning bteam, tekkit, and tekxit 3 maybe unplayable for a while)

 

The more you wait, the better the outcome; PS some small clarity error there bud

I would assume Technic will be a delayed thing because I don't think its an "official" launcher for minecraft? I'm not sure so don't quote me on this ;P

 

I plan to wait until they force me to change it. Stupid Microsoft. Why do they have to change something that works.

 

I dont like being forced.
-1 for Microsoft
Not wow
I dont wanna have Microsoft account

 

Actually u will be able to play technic packs, but through the multimc launcher

u just need to enable developer mode

 

Trust Microsoft to create problems. They havent come out with a thing that wasnt buggy from release.

 

lol, all the microsoft trashtalkers coming out of the woodworks, so funny

I think the whole thing makes sense.

The one thing I find confusing is the sentence from their FAQ "You know you have a Legacy account if you log in with a username instead of an email address. It’s important for you to understand the difference between that type of account and Microsoft Accounts if you want to continue playing Minecraft Java."

A bit confusing, I have been logging into MC with my email for years, I don't use a nickname anymore since ages, but I can log into MyM, so what they are doing here must be something else.

edit: ok, i think their faq is confusing. I transitioned ages ago from using a nickname to logging into a mojang account, but that is not the same as a microsoft account. Unless they are somehow automatically converting mojang to microsoft accounts? that FAQ sentence makes no sense to me

 

tbh i don't hate ms just some of their actions lack an explanation.
Plus sand i think you understood it wrong, the migration starts 2021

 

I understood the migration correctly, the confusing part is that FAQ. It says that I recognize having a legacy account if i log in with a username, which I am have not done forever.

edit: nevermind, i am stupid. "Mojang Account or Legacy Account" and then they explain what a legacy account is
I have a Mojang Account, but both need to be transitioned

 

mojang account is easier to migrate, but legacy transition requires you to add an email to it then migrate, which proves to be annoying if you didnt do it before, When you were told to!

 

This migration is actually essential for Microsoft to put out for vanilla servers as it completely eliminates alt banks and stolen accounts.

 

It will get ride of some, but their are plenty of alt Microsoft account.

 

I'm talking out the like semi-access accounts that don't have a linked email etc and are sold in bulk.

Regardless, ridding *some* helps against repetition cheaters/hacked clients and whatnot that use a ton of alt accounts and switch to a new one when they get banned.

 

From what I am reading, your expired e-mail will suffice for as long as it is used even though there is no way for verification. As long as you continue to use that name it should be active forever if needed. You may need to re-op the email unless the e-mail proper has been removed(ex. Compuserve address).

 

I think that I can talk about Microsoft, as I have had the dubious duty to have had NOTHING but Microsoft programming from DOS 0.8 to present. I have never had a complete programming system from Microsoft. All of the Microsoft programming has been very "buggy" because unfortunately Microsoft wants to be the 'First' in everything.
I can only remember the lonestar update that they released to certain personnel which leaked it to the public. That program was more complete that any other and Microsoft killed it.
More Money than sense?
Can you explain the "millions" to purchase an independent company, (Minecraft)?

 

That happened years ago, they only took action to make them ms accounts now
