Why can't I log in when I am under 18 years of age?

Microsoft has placed a restriction on third-party launchers that prevent any Microsoft accounts under the age of 18 to sign in. If your Microsoft account is under 18 years of age, you will need to ask a parent or someone else that is over 18 years old to create a Microsoft Family account.

In this guide, your own Minecraft account will be referred to as "Account 1" and a Microsoft account made by a parent/older person will be referred to as "Account 2".

1. If they have not already done so, ask your parent/older person to create a Microsoft account. It does not need to have a Minecraft account linked to it.
2. Using Account 2, go to the Microsoft Family page and log in.
3. Press Add a family member, then enter the email of Account 1.
4. Using Account 1, access your email account and accept the invite that is sent to you by Microsoft.
