Happy Holidays!
We generally do not do news posts for site changes, however we feel this update that has rolled out is important to share.
We have added support for logging in to Minecraft Forum with your Google account. What this means is that you can log into an MCF account with with a Twitch account or a Google account, or even both if you're so inclined!
To link a Google account to your MCF account, visit your account page (you can get there using this link: https://www.minecraftforum.net/account).
Click "Link Google" and you will be redirected to Google.
Select which Google account you wish to use to log into MCF with.
And that is it! You can now log into MCF using the "Google" option on our login page.
You can even unlink your Twitch account from the site using the "Unlink Twitch" if you no longer wish to have your Twitch account tied to your account.
We will be adding more options over time. Microsoft Login is next on our list as Java Edition is moving to using Microsoft logins, joining Bedrock and Dungeons.
Could you please recover my old account? I have sent an email to [email protected] on 11/23 and still haven't received an answer.
I will try this out. thnx
Work?

good times:Furnace::Furnace:
Hmmm very nice 👍
This seems to mean MCF usernames are no longer tied to Twitch usernames, but there seems to be no way to change usernames here on MCF...
I say this b/c my username is now what I signed up with 4 years ago, not what I had changed it to with Twitch.
changing names on the forum is a separate system and not tied to twitch or google, if you want your name change send me or one of the other admins a PM , or you can contact forum support (support email may take longer)
well thats good because i have an account now
thanks
Nice, any progress on a mobile app?
A mobile app has never been in the works
Lol i realize that, but it would be pretty awesome.
can we do it if we credit you all?
You would need to speak to Magic Find who own the forum and its contents, making an app and just crediting would not be allowed by the legal teams.
Honestly there is no need for an app, the forum has a mobile view and most mobile devices can happily display sites in normal and mobile view anyway
oh, alright. was just wondering if we could've done it, not like i was going to... xD
unless...
Yes yes yes yes!!! Thank you!!!!
how do I log in to my original account from years ago with all my old posts etc?
:Notch:i uesd that!
I thinks its great. I just used this method using my google account to join this forum
