In order to assist the players through the migration, Minecraft has released YouTube videos, guides, emails as well as in-game assistance to make a Microsoft account. Further, the account migration will not cost any fee. Minecraft has also assured that this transition will not affect PvP (player vs player) mode. The Java Edition is famous for its third party modifications to the maps and various mini games and online multiplayer mode. Minecraft has stated that the migration will not change the Java Edition game in any way. The older Java Edition ran on Mojang accounts whereas the newer Bedrock Edition ran on Microsoft accounts. Even in PCs, only Windows can run both Bedrock and Java while Linux and Mac can only run Java. Right now, the division is such that any device outside of a desktop computer can only run Bedrock. Bedrock was mainly aimed at consoles and smartphones. One is the classic Java Edition that came out in 2009 and the multi-platform version Bedrock came out in 2016. But yesterday, the company finally pushed the deadline and insisted that all its players migrate by the suggested timeline or they will not be able to play Minecraft anymore. It had given a year's time to players to voluntarily migrate the account. Minecraft first came out with the decision to transition all its players from Mojang to Microsoft in October 2020. So far, Java Edition players could play the game simply by using a Mojang account. The company stated that the voluntary account migration period to get a Microsoft account was going to end on Maand players will not be able to play the game unless they created a Microsoft account. On February 4, Minecraft announced its last call to all Java Edition players who have not yet switched to Microsoft accounts. Important news for all Minecraft Java Edition players.
