Your Minecraft account could be lost forever if you don’t take action right now, as the iconic Mojang building game finally completes the long-running transition to Microsoft accounts. If you want to keep playing, and enjoying all those fantastic Minecraft seeds, the deadline to update your account is fast approaching. We have all the details on Minecraft account migration below, so make sure you don’t miss out.

Players who registered a Minecraft account with the early Java Edition have so far been able to access the game using their original Mojang login details. However, this will soon no longer be possible, as the studio says that every Minecraft player needs to migrate over to a Microsoft Minecraft account and the game’s later Bedrock Edition. Without migrating, Minecraft players registered to the Java Edition won’t be able to log onto the game at all via Minecraft.net and the Minecraft Launcher. YouTube Thumbnail

The deadline for Minecraft account migration is Tuesday, September 19 at 8 am PST / 11 am EST / 4 pm EST / 5 pm CEST / 3 am AEDT on Wednesday, September 20. Microsoft Minecraft accounts have access to two-factor authentication and, according to Mojang, “improved security and player safety.” Upon migrating, players also receive a free in-game Minecraft cape.

It really is. It's great seeing how much progress the game had made in a few years, although it's still far from perfect.

Interesting. Thank you!

I'd be happier if the site didn't violate the GDPR

A bit of added context:
They are based in Latvia, which is part of the EU, so subject to the GDPR. And under the GDPR, the use of Google Analytics is in fact unlawful without getting explicit and informed (that one's very important) consent from the user.

Article 44 is the relevant one here, detailing data transfers to so-called third countries outside the EU.

The trailer video makes it look full of micro-management. Micro-blocks to construct tools?
