About this video: This video walks you through every single step of changing your Minecraft username. We show you where to find your profile settings, how to choose a new username, and what to expect after your Minecraft name has been changed.
Start by opening the Minecraft Launcher and clicking on your username in the top-left corner. Go into the Manage Profile section, select your username, and click “Change Profile Name”. This will open Minecraft’s website, where you will need to sign in using the Microsoft account connected to Minecraft.
Once you are signed in, enter the new Minecraft username you want to use. Keep in mind that usernames have to be available. If the name you enter is already being used, Minecraft will let you know when you try to change your profile name. Once you have found an available username you are happy with, confirm the change, and your new profile name will be set.
There are a couple of things to know after changing your Minecraft username. You can only change your profile name once every 30 days, so make sure you are happy with the name you choose. Your new username may also take some time to appear everywhere. If the Minecraft Launcher still shows your old name, completely close it and reopen it. Even after doing that, the change can take a little longer to appear in Minecraft or on servers, so give it some time if it does not update immediately.
If you want to play Minecraft with your friends after getting your new username setup, Simple Game Hosting is also an easy way to get a server online without having to manage everything yourself.
You now know how to change your Minecraft username and what to do if the new name does not appear immediately. If you have any questions, let us know in the comments. Otherwise, be sure to give the video a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you haven't already. Thanks in advance!
