Hey I'm on switch and when I joined minecraft I couldn't change my username any help?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

If you are unable to change your username on Minecraft for Nintendo Switch, it is possible that the username you want to use is already taken by another player. In this case, you will need to choose a different username.

If you are still unable to change your username and you believe there is an issue with your account, you may want to try contacting Mojang support through this link; https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/requests/new for further assistance.

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.

I meant username not gamertag

I couldn't find any information regarding username changing/reverting anywhere so that's why I'm worried they straight up don't allow it. I had to ask here.

Hello 60Nic, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

I'm sorry you've had problems with your Minecraft account. To change your username in Minecraft: Java Edition, you can follow these steps:

Go to the Minecraft profile page.
Sign in with your Microsoft account.
Once you're logged in, you should be able to change your username.
Please note that you can only change your username once every 30 days. If the hacker recently changed your username, you may have to wait a while before you can change it again.

and once this is done, you should be able to change your name without any problem.

Best regards.
