I've had Minecraft: Java Edition on my PC for quite a while. Back then, a friend downloaded it to me via his account, so I didn't have to pay anything. I'm also grateful for that. I would very much like to change my username in Minecraft and would very much like to use skins. However, this is not possible on my friend's account because he doesn't have a Mojang account. So I created a new account and wanted to try it out. My question now is: Do I have to buy Minecraft again with the new account? Because actually I only have the game on the PC via the older account.
You can migrate to Mojang from an old Minecraft account.
When did the friend do it?
About 4-5 years ago.
Many thanks.
