Thanks:for all!!!

I am personally very happy about this. This will hopefully mean less hackers trying to snatch up Minecraft account nfa, sfa, ufas accounts or ones that did not migrate and are legacy. Mojang's accounts were already very easy to hack into because of poor security options, heck a hacker pulled a Mojang staffs account for their cape to show it off and tricked MOJANG SUPPORT into giving it to them (Read that again because it bares repeating). Seriously this should have happened sooner. In addition to 2FA, capes being devalued is also a good thing. Capes should never have been as rare as they were as it just leads to Account/Username/Cape selling, Elitism, Rudeness and account hacking. Personally glad we all get a cape so we can further express ourselves with capes to match our skins.

So what if they put us into Microsoft's ecosystem? So what if we lose our Java edition usernames and have to use Xbox tags? What matters is our accounts are more secure and we can still PLAY THE GAME.

Side note: Moderation and bans on Bedrock and Java upcoming should have also happened sooner. I personally avoid most Java servers (Especially Hypixel) due to the rampant cheaters and toxicity. Being able to report these players via their Xbox/Microsoft accounts will hopefully make it a safer place to play on without being too offended by the chat.

I don't like this change because it's ever inching Java Edition to bedrock/microsoft. What's worse is MS acting like "haha this won't effect anything everything is cool guys" when things like modded launchers will be effected which quite a large portion of the minecraft community (myself excluded) use. I think that the theories brought up by ShelLuser are also quite concerning, even if what they suggest doesn't come to pass I still don't like this direction at all. I'm sorry if this just sounds like rambling I haven't really organized my thoughts on the matter.

The cape will be nice, I just hope this migration doesn't have similar problems to the facebook/oculus rift stuff.

I'm not happy at all about this because it means that many of us won't be able to keep their name which they've been using for ages. I've been known as 'ShelLuser' from the moment I started playing version 1.7 and right now it seems I have to give up on this name because someone in the XBox community is using the same name.

Then there's another issue... I love Minecraft, and I discovered that sometimes it can be seriously beneficial if you can be in two or three places at once. And for the record: I'm not necessarily talking about servers (some servers don't appreciate "alts") but also single player. Of course it really helped that the server(s) I play on don't mind the use of alts at all (to a certain degree of course, you shouldn't use it to give you a real advantage over others) but some fun play and "double mining"? No problem!

So yeah, I have a few alts of my own. There's my "TheOtherShell" account, I got an alt to support a virtual organisation I started on another server ("GripCEO"), I got yet another alt to help me get some good information about the new player process for a few servers which I'm using in some reviews I'm writing and that's about it.

So what about those?

See, I already had a Microsoft account for many years already. The account isn't a problem, it's actually quite good (I'm also a Microsoft Insider for quite some years now)! Now with Windows 10 it's actually very useful. For example: say I change my background on my main PC then this change will be applied to my laptop(s) as well. That's useful! (note that this is purely optional, if you don't want to then you don't have to share those settings of course).

Owning a Microsoft account.. np! But sharing multiple accounts? That's sheer hell. I've tried this back in the day when I ran my own company: my own Microsoft account and one for my work/company (useful to separate appointments, todo's, etc.). It worked, but it wasn't exactly easy. And right now it's still troublesome to maintain more accounts.

Yet that's what we'll be facing when you have alts. You're likely going to lose your nickname, the use of alts is going to become a lot harder and yah...

I'm not happy.

I'm pretty sure it wont be that big of a change because I already have all my pc games linked... However...

I just hope that microsoft will not force ads and "must buys now" cosmetics like in bedrock. But I'm very sure that will happen soon after the migration, sadly.

oh jesus
microsoft accounts?
oh lord oh boi

These are the labor pains that will begin the destruction of MC Java. Microsoft wants to eliminate Java altogether so they can make more money from the marketplace. Microsoft has always hated Java. They always try to promote bedrock. I.E. showing off all the fancy MC EDU stuff and marketplace content at the Minecraft Live. They want JE players to go to Bedrock so that they can make sweet, sweet, CASH.

It's not such a bad change... It's not the best... but I guess I can stand by it. Using a microsoft account would be better so that way I don't have to use two different accounts swapping between bedrock and java. I also wonder if this would do anything to linking your microsoft account to your discord? (I never figured out what linking your xbox account does) We get a free cape too (which is nice since we haven't had mojang capes since 2016 if I remember correctly), and we also get one thing that trump didn't have until he was hacked 3 or 4 times: 2 factor authentication. tl;dr, yeah this change is alright, having all your games under one account is nice and woo free cape

The fact Java is staying the same made me have a big sigh of relief

My only two huge concerns with this migration runs is one: How will older versions if Minecraft be affected (I was told they'd still be available to play, but I still wanna bring that up), and two: Will Minecraft still be able to support decentralized servers once the account services move over to Microsoft? While I myself won't have much of a problem doing the migration, given I haven't lost any Mojang/Microsoft accounts at the time of writing, I think the bigger question might be if the migration in general is even a good idea. People are starting to not exactly trust big companies with their data in this day and age, convincing millions of people to migrate over to a service that's been accused of sharing more data than they should (Keyword: Has been accused, as in: I don't know if that's true or not, but people have been mentioning it a few times, just wanna make that clear) is going to be a pretty darn hard sell. I just hope both of the answers to that question is a solid, resounding yes.

My main hope is that 2fa is not a requirement to use any feature in game. some games lock certain features behind 2fa, and I don't want that to happen to minecraft.

Also, because I use MultiMC more than I use the vanilla launcher, I hope i get my email later than sooner, so that I can continue to play my modpacks as soon as possible after the change. MultiMC is confirmed to have a planned patch, it will just take awhile.

when will I get the email?

I still use a legacy account. Never owned a Mojang account. I'm wondering if I'll be effected.

I know people are trying to fear monger this because "MICROSOFT BAD!!!" (seriously the Microsoft hate bandwagon has been dead for awhile now) though there is ONE big downside but it will probably fixed in due time. Technic Launcher and Twitch Launcher. They could break from this change however I'm willing to bet it will be fixed soon. Just keep an open mind and try not to see anything too negative out of it. Also nice Dinnerbone reference
