Minecraft is filled with hundreds of ways to show off who you are. However, one of the most important ways of self-expression inside of the game is your username. The name that appears in chat and the one floating above your head is a key part of the in-game identity you create for yourself. This guide will go over how to change your username in Minecraft Java Edition.
You can change your username in Minecraft for free by heading to www.minecraft.net. Once you are all logged in, you can go to the “Profile” section of your account, where you will find a change button next to your Profile Name.
Keep in mind that you can only change your username once every 30 days, so choose wisely. To avoid being stuck for a month with a name you do not want. Another important note is that Minecraft will put your previous username on hold for 37 days. That way, after the 30 days are up, you still have a week to change your username back to the previous one before Mojang releases that name to other players.
