    Can't change profile name on Minecraft Java edition


    Hello,

    I just linked my former mojang account with my microsoft account. I have a new auto generated profile name "AdoptingMinemans", probably automatically changed because I didn't play the game for a while.

    So I'm trying to set a new profile name but it's always tagged as "potentially offensive" whatever I put. I even tried the actual name removing the last letter or even simple word and still it's considered offensive.

    Some example bellow :

    Do you have any solution to this problem ?

    :)

    May I know if you tried changing your name using a different Wi-Fi network, web browser or device?

    If that’s the case, the best option is reach Minecraft support.
    https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new

    They have the tools to see why you’re not able to change your profile username

    Changing my username back to my old one

    Hello ShaunJO,



    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It appears that your concern is related to profile name in Minecraft Java that was changed. Let us help you find the most accurate information on how to address your concern and point you to the right support team where you can get the best resolution to your concern.

    Minecraft usernames are unique, so if someone else has already claimed the name, you won't be able to use it again. As per the game support article, when you change your Java profile name, your previous name is saved for 37 days. This gives you an additional week to change back if you change your mind before your previous Java profile name becomes available to anyone else. You can find the information here: Minecraft: Java Edition Profile Name VS Gamertag FAQ | Minecraft Help



    We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



    Sincerely,

    The option to change my Minecraft username won't show. How can I change it?

    Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

    I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

    Hope you're doing great today Thalius

    Is this for Java Edition?

    Did you tried opening Minecraft profile page on incognito mode?

    https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/profile

    Once there Navigate to My Games and select the Minecraft: Java Edition dropdown box and there you should be able to change your username

    If you're not able to see the option to change Java Edition Minecraft username you may need to contact Mojang support for this one

    If you're referring to Bedrock edition, changing gamertag do the trick, but sometimes can take up to 72 hours to be reflected the change everywhere

    Minecraft post migration java account stolen due to the migration.

    Hello RainbowVOD,

    Thanks for the reply, we understand that the process for post migration of Minecraft account is not in favor to you. We just want to clarify the details about the Minecraft username which is now called Minecraft: Java Edition Profile Name is not the same as Gamertag.

    You may use the same name however, there maybe a chance that it must be taken. In that case, we would like to provide you the game article about it: Minecraft: Java Edition Profile Name VS Gamertag FAQ | Minecraft Help.

    Since the Minecraft: Java Edition Profile Name is in-game concern, anything that you may want to ask regarding this name should be addressed by the Minecraft Support.

    Thank you for understanding.

    Regards,
