    Changing my username back to my old one


    Minecraft:

    I changed my very random name to use it on another account 40 days ago, and it is telling me that my account name is in use. I checked on a website for usernames and it still has my skin.

    Furthermore, I doubt anyone would take it because it's a very random long name with 5 random numbers, but it's sentimental to me.

    Anyone know if this is normal for a period of time, or perhaps if I lost access to the name forever?

    :)

    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,

    I GOTTA CHANGE MY USERNAME BACK TO MY OLD USERNAME!

    If you've already used your free change, you'll have to pay if you want to change it again. There is no way around that.
