How to Change your Username in Minecraft?

A username is considered as a part of your digital profile in multiplayer online games, like Minecraft. It is the name used in a game that lets the other players identify you. A username should be notable and creative as it reflects your personality. However, you can easily change the username in a few simple steps if a need to change arises. For instance, if you want to pick a more modern gamer ID, simplify a complicated username, or if you ever get bored of your current profile name.

However, it can only be achieved on PC and Mac editions of Minecraft. The profile usernames on Xbox and PlayStation are associated with the corresponding console usernames. Hence, they can only be replaced whenever the Gamertag Xbox or Sony PSN ID changes.

Climacteric Words

Even if the username is changed by you, there is still a UUIS (a type of link for each account) that remains the same. It is separately made for every account in the game. It recognizes you even if you change your username, to help you out with the players you banned, and changes you made before. In addition, you can also log in to your account again if you face any problem with your changed username or otherwise contact customer support.
