What is how to change minecraft username?

Here's how you can change your Minecraft username:

Changing your Minecraft username is a straightforward process, but there are a few important things to keep in mind.

  • Account Type: The process varies slightly depending on whether you have a Mojang Account or a Microsoft Account. Most players now use Microsoft Accounts.

  • How to Change (Microsoft Account):

    1. Go to the Xbox Gamertag change page on the Microsoft website. You may need to log in to your Microsoft account if you aren't already.
    2. If this is your first time changing your Xbox Gamertag, you'll be offered a free change. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a fee.
    3. Enter your desired new username and check its availability.
    4. Confirm the change.
  • How to Change (Mojang Account - for legacy accounts only):

    1. Log in to your Minecraft Profile on the Minecraft website.
    2. Next to your username, you'll see a "Change" link. Click it.
    3. Enter your desired new username and verify its availability.
    4. Enter your password to confirm the change.
  • Cooldown Period: After changing your username, you won't be able to change it again for 30 Days.

  • Username Availability: The new username you choose must be available. If someone else already has it, you'll need to pick a different one.

  • Name History: Your previous usernames are publicly visible. There are websites that track Minecraft Name History.

  • Impact on Servers and Friends: Your new username will be reflected on all Minecraft servers you play on. Inform your friends of the change so they can recognize you. Usually the server plugins supports name changes so your in-game progress and purchases will be intact after changing name.
