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.

If you don't want to migrate to Microsoft check out minetest/mineclone for a free and open source alternative.

Tried it, unfortunately the (tedious) things that made me disinterested in MC were carried over (not wowed by other options, either).
