Microsoft account for minecraft?

I have a Microsoft store account because I got something there. Now i want minecraft java on mojang. Get com. It says create a mojang account. But I already have a minecraft store account. I entered that, register with and it took it. That means I apparently already have a Microsoft account. Now my question: Since I have a Microsoft account, do I also need a mojang account?

There are theoretically 2 versions for the PC one Java (Mojang) and one Bedrock (Microsoft) I personally prefer Java. :}

Correct me if I'm wrong.

A Microsoft account is required when you buy the Java Edition. If you already have one, you can of course use it. There are no longer any new Mojang accounts.

There's, but has nothing to do with the question.

At that time I didn't need a Microsoft account to get Minecraft.

Now you need a Microsoft account.

Neither do I. But since Mojang and Microsoft announced in October that all Mojang accounts will be converted to Microsoft accounts in the future, you can no longer create new Mojang accounts and you need a Microsoft account when purchasing.

You will also need a Microsoft account when the transition begins. In the future, the login with the Mojang account will be abolished.
