How to Change Your Minecraft Java Edition Username

Changing your Minecraft Java Edition username is a simple process, but it’s important to follow the steps carefully. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to update your Minecraft display name via the official Minecraft website.

Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Minecraft Username

Step 1: Open the Minecraft Launcher

• Launch the Minecraft Launcher on your computer.

• Navigate to the bottom left corner and click on the Settings.

Step 2: Go to Accounts

• In the settings menu, select the Accounts tab at the top.

• You’ll see your linked Microsoft or Mojang account. Hover over it and look for the three dots (⋮) on the right side.

• Click on Manage Minecraft Java Edition Profile.

Step 3: Log In to Minecraft.net

• You’ll be redirected to Minecraft.net in your browser.

• Log in using your Mojang account (email & password) or Microsoft account (if you’ve migrated).

  • Note: If you still have a Mojang account, you may need to migrate to a Microsoft account to proceed.

Step 4: Access Your Profile Settings

• Once logged in, click on Account in the top-right corner and select Profile.

• Scroll down and click on the Change Profile Name option.

Step 5: Change Your Username

• In the Profile Name section, enter your new desired username.

  • Important:

    • Your username must be unique (not taken by another player).

    • You can only change your name once every 30 days.

• After entering the new name, click Change Your Profile Name.

Step 6: Confirm the Change

• If successful, your new username will now appear in-game.

• If you recently changed your name, you’ll see a cooldown timer (e.g., "You can change your name again in 18 days").

Important Notes

• Name Availability: If your chosen name is already taken, you’ll need to pick a different one.

• Migration Requirement: Mojang accounts must be migrated to Microsoft to change usernames.

• 30-Day Cooldown: Plan your name changes carefully since you can’t modify it frequently.

Conclusion

That’s it! You’ve successfully updated your Minecraft Java Edition username. Enjoy your new identity in the game!
