Mojang Account Migration.

I figure people should be aware of Mojang migrating their accounts to Microsoft. As any new account made after December 1st will need to be Microsoft and there for people will be and are having issues getting our launcher to work. For those with Mojang accounts be aware you will have to go through the migration process starting early 2021 to switch to Microsoft or be locked out of your account. Just be aware of them emailing you with information on how to do so. All the information you need about the migration process is below.

Will the Launcher Accept Microsoft Credentials? Seems like I only have a microsoft login now. And I can't log on through the new Halios Launcher. It says credentials are invalid.

Yep, that's an issue we're working on. Meanwhile, you have to manually build the launcher. Follow this guide.

Mojang has put a notification on the bottom of the vanilla launcher that a limited number of people are being migrated at the moment. Their migration target is mid July. To know if you need to migrate check your account on minecraft.net or launch the vanilla launcher and it will prompt you when you need to migrate your account. You will then be forced to make a Microsoft account with an xbox gamertag.
