Minecraft Requires Microsoft Account
From the start of next year if you want to play Minecraft you’ll need a Microsoft account. Currently there are two ways in, through Mojang’s Java edition, and Microsoft’s Bedrock edition, but now every Java player will have to create a Microsoft account, which may mean a new username. The company cites security improvements as the main reason behind the move, and it is to implement two factor authentication, something people have actually been requesting for years. Thankfully PvP and modding in the Java edition remain unchanged. –CL
