Minecraft – How to change profile name on Minecraft

minecraft-java-edition

I have two children with two accounts for Minecraft. When we log in and play we are taken to the other users world. How can we separate both accounts on the PC? Please help, mother very confused!

Best Answer

If you're on Windows, you could have a batch file to run for each child.

Here's an example (for John):

@echo off
set APPDATA=%~dp0\John
set LAUNCHER=Minecraft.exe
%LAUNCHER%

This script will change the %APPDATA% variable to wherever your batch script is with the "John" directory within. This will create two separate instances of Minecraft all together, so not only worlds (saves) are separate, but the whole game (resource packs, Java binaries, etc). You would naturally change "John" to whatever your child's name is.

Hope this helped.
