How-to
It sounds complicated, but it's not.
Minecraft developer Mojang recently began encouraging players to migrate their Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts. The primary reason for this is that Java Edition users will need to migrate to a Microsoft account to gain access to Bedrock Edition in the Minecraft Launcher when the Microsoft PC Bundle releases in 2022 (you can get it early through Xbox Game Pass on Nov. 2, 2021). Another reason why migrating accounts is a good idea is because Microsoft accounts have better security.
The process of migrating accounts sounds like it might be complicated and difficult, but thankfully, it's actually very quick and simple. In this Minecraft guide, we'll show you how to migrate your Mojang account to a Microsoft account.
To migrate your Mojang account to a Microsoft account, follow these steps:
•Go to the Minecraft profile page and log in.
•Select MOVE MY ACCOUNT.
•You'll be prompted to confirm your Mojang email address with a code. First, select GET CODE.
•In a separate tab, check your Mojang account email for a code email. Copy the code.
•Back on the Minecraft website, paste the code into the box.

Also, keep in mind that you can get access to both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition on Nov. 2, 2021, through an Xbox Game Pass for PC or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription (make sure you use the same Microsoft account for Xbox Game Pass that you used for Minecraft).
