Convert Minecraft account to Mojang account - that's the reason

Minecraft recommends converting the old Minecraft account into a Mojang account. We'll tell you the advantages and disadvantages of the change.

Minecraft and Mojang account - is it worth the switch?

• Since the end of 2012, only Mojang accounts can be created to play Minecraft. The old Minecraft accounts remain valid. The change is optional.
• The login works for the Minecraft account via the player name, for the Mojang account via the email address. However, this is only a minor unimportant difference.
• The new Mojang account enables you to connect to the Twitch streaming service. So you can stream live from Minecraft. Also changing the player name is only possible with the Mojang account.
