Players have to migrate their accounts to Microsoft before they become inactive and require players to create new Microsoft accounts, which is less than ideal. Here’s how to migrate the account.

Migrating a Minecraft account to Microsoft

According to Mojang,

This means that all players will have to join Microsoft in order to continue playing. Regardless of the platform, whether it’s an iPhone, a Nintendo Switch or a PlayStation 5, all players will have Microsoft accounts.

Players can follow these steps to migrate their account.

Log into Minecraft account. Find the “It’s Your Turn To Move” prompt. Click “Move my Account”. Verify account with a code sent to the email attached to the Mojang account. Enter the code and click “Submit and Start Migration”. A new email and password will be needed. A school or work email will not work. Existing Microsoft accounts can be used here by clicking “Existing Microsoft Account” instead of creating a new one. Confirm date of birth and country. Create a gamertag and select a profile picture. The final screen will have a “Let’s Move” button that needs to be clicked.

After these steps are completed, Minecraft players will have officially migrated their Mojang accounts to Microsoft and will be able to play and receive the free cape.
