When you’re in the Minecraft spotlight, your username steals the show! If your current name is cramping your style—be it too goofy, stuck in the past, or plagued by typos—it’s time for a swift change.
Luckily, we’ve got the ultimate guide on shaking up your Minecraft moniker across all consoles.
Let’s give your username a glow-up!
Before we start changing your username, are you wondering about your current Minecraft username?
No sweat! If you’re on PC or Mac, check the Minecraft launcher’s top right before diving into the game.

Minecraft comes in two flavors, like chocolate and vanilla, but with gaming.

Remember that you can only change your username once per 30 days, although you can change it.
The PC, mobile devices, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch are the particular platforms for which the instructions below are meant.
Remember that changing your username for the first time on your Xbox/Microsoft account will be complimentary.
After that, you will be charged $9.99 each time you want to modify it. (If the account was opened after the new guidelines were implemented on June 5, 2019)
You don’t need a Microsoft account to play some versions of Minecraft Bedrock, namely the ones for the Switch, PlayStation, iPhone, iPad, and Android platforms.
You can’t play multiplayer if you don’t have a Microsoft account, but you can still modify your username.
A few time constraints apply to usernames:
Remember your Minecraft website profile name remains unchanged when you alter your in-game username.
