I login, it demands I answer security questions ... I don't know those.

I opened a support ticket days ago... nothing.
And this all when I KNOW my username and password.
I bought Minecraft when it was just about to go to beta and I changed over to a Microsoft account a few days ago. I can't say it went smoothly or that I am happy about it. Lately when I have time to game I've been messing around with Veloren instead: https://veloren.net
Minecraft was a better game under the original developer. Just recently saw that I can buy Minecraft coins at a tank stop. A really sad development of an awesome game which had an insurmountable amount of free content. Don't know what I expected with the acquisition though. I don't think I will migrate my account, currently in the process of migrating away from Windows for good.
To clarify, the original Java version of Minecraft is essentially the same game with more gameplay features, the Bedrock version is the one with the microtransactions. Plus, the Java launcher lets you use any version going back more than a decade, so if you're not happy with the new features you can just pretend they never happened like some parts of the modded community do with versions after 1.7.10.
Reports of people being locked out and other troubles. Microsoft soils everything they touch. They have the money to get things right, they just somehow don't. I just don't get it.
They have enough money that they don't need to get it right. What are you gonna do, go running to the competition? They can just buy the competition.
Microsoft forced me to add a phone nunber for "security reasons" because of "supspicious login activity". It was the first time I logged into the Microsoft account after I created it one day ago. There was nothing listed in the login activity section.
If you want a MC clone, get Mineclone 5.

Yeah it’s a mess, when you’re on Linux you buy Java initially without caring much, then you are in for a surprise and some interesting reads when the kids want to play with friends… I don’t understand why I can’t just have both on the same account, prevent the unpleasant surprises. I mean it’s the same game (from the outside).
Wait - it's not Java anymore? Can people still self-host servers? I checked out of Minecraft in like 2012.
The whole Mojang/Microsoft account migration thing has been a nightmare. I got two kids, and purchased different versions of Minecraft (don't get me started on that fiasco) over the years. I also work in tech, and have Microsoft accounts. Lastly I've dabbled with Xbox Game Pass etc. Determining which account to use and login with is a nightmare. I don't play Minecraft enough to stay current with all the ins-and-outs…
