Minecraft Java will soon ask us to use a Microsoft account
If instead of the Bedrock version of Minecraft you use Java, you will have to use a Microsoft account. It's for security, and it will give us a cape.
The Java version of Minecraft differs from the Bedrock version in that it includes new features and test items that are gradually included in the latter. There are attacks and certain elements exclusive to the Java version, which is why many players play in it. Well, those Minecraft Java players are going to have to use a Microsoft account soon.

While they already asked to use a Microsoft account in Minecraft Bedrock, Java still used a Mojang account. Microsoft has decided that it will soon be necessary to use one of its accounts in all versions of Minecraft for cybersecurity reasons.
One of them is that the Microsoft account offers two-step authentication, a very widespread and used security element. This would make it easier for us to hack into our account and access our content and friend lists if they simply have access to our account password. Other than this, the account switch from Mojang to Microsoft will mean nothing to Minecraft Java users.
They are not going to mix the players. They will only be integrated into the Microsoft security ecosystem and nothing else. This change is expected early next year, and not everything will be done at once, but blocks of players will be notified until the transition is complete. To make it more bearable and encourage them to create a Microsoft account, all players will be given a special cape. It is not known if it will have secret abilities, but it will be an exclusive item for players who have been using the Java version of Minecraft for several years.
