When i had xbox game pass for one month i logged in to servers with a username after the time of the gamepass was up couldnt access premium minecraft again and that username has already been used in that id. Now i bought minecraft java and bedrock in another microsoft account ( not the one i had xbox game pass in ) and now when i try to use the same username it says its already in use and i had made a lot of significant progress from that username in hypixel , pika and also bought ranks in that username and many other networks so i dont want to start everything all over again. How can i get back my username ? Please really need help i can prove that the username is mine as i have both microsoft accounts and the microsoft acc i had xbox game pass in ( with my username ). Help Me yaal.

Hi, Eternal,

Thank you for your contribution and welcome to Xbox Community. It's my pleasure to help.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Let's check what's going on.

When you had game pass, what Microsoft account did you use? Can you login your account at account.microsoft.com and xbox.com?

If you can log in to it but unable to access your Minecraft using the username you had before, I suggest you contact Minecraft team about it to look into your account.

Sumbit a request here:

When I logged into windows 10 using my Microsoft account it instantly used my Xbox username. It there any way I can make my Minecraft account different than my Xbox username? This would be extremely helpful, especially because my Minecraft username
is 13 letters, and Xbox usernames can only be 12 letters!

Hi there,

I found this article, I hope this helps:

Minecraft Usernames

This article covers Minecraft usernames for Minecraft: Java Edition on PC/Mac. Minecraft on other platforms do not require usernames, but if you play on Minecraft Realms on these platforms you will use your Xbox gamer tag. The console editions of Minecraft
use Xbox gamer tag or Sony PSN ID.

Where can I find my username?

If you have a Mojang account, your username can be found and changed on your Mojang account page.

Can I change my username?

Users who have a Mojang account (the default account type for all accounts registered after November 2012) can change their username for free at account.mojang.com/me by clicking the
(Change) link next to your profile name.

If you sign in with your username, as older accounts do, you'll first need to migrate to a Mojang account before you can change your username.

Minecraft may ask you to change your username after updating the launcher due to several important reasons.

- Account Migration: Mojang, the company that develops Minecraft, has been migrating Mojang accounts to Microsoft accounts, During this process, you may be asked to change your username.

- Username already in use: If your username is being used by another account, you may be asked to change it

- Launcher Update: Some Minecraft launcher updates may require you to change your username.
