Minecraft Java Edition – Why Is Username Change Not Possible?

minecraft-java-edition

When I launch minecraft if I change my name from the launcher, when I go in game my name is not changed.

I've tried exiting out of minecraft and the launcher but it hasn't reset my name.

Clicking the edit profile button and changing that name is not the real name.

To change your username:

  • Log in to http://account.mojang.com.

  • Click Change, next to your Minecraft name.

  • Enter a new name and enter your password.

  • Click the Change Name button to confirm.

Your username has been changed.

Now wait a couple minutes (up to 15) and logout and log back into the launcher again.
