I'm stuck in Minecraft Java DEMO mode after migrating my Mojang account to Microsoft

I know this problem has been posted a lot, but however, I don't know why, but I can't play my Minecraft JAVA worlds after migrating my account to Microsoft.

I already own the game, but it still acts like I didn't purchased it.

I tried multiple tips to get it back, like:

-> sign off/sign on to my account, but it still doesn't work.

-> I can't go back to my old Mojang account with the license in, to get my game back, but since it is already migrated, I can't go back in it.

I don't want to pay my game again, so please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @CompuStone!

It's not in the migration instructions, but after the migration, you have to ADD a NEW account, and link it to your Microsoft account.

On the login prompt in the java launcher, go back. You'll see the Mojang account you had been signing into - ignore it, and add a new account to the launcher. Using the email address associated with the Microsoft account you just migrated to, sign in with the email address and password of your Microsoft account.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

It's not in the migration instructions, but after the migration, you have to ADD a NEW account, and link it to your Microsoft account. Startup will take longer, but it sure works.

On the login prompt in the java launcher, go back. You'll see the mojang account you had been signing into - ignore it, and add a new account to the launcher. Using the email address associated with the microsoft account you just migrated to, sign in with the email address and password of your microsoft account. It's not an elegant migration on the UX side of things, but it does work.
