i cant use the username ive been using for 3 years on minecraft anymore

derpydudes · Oct 4, 2023

Ive used the java edition minecraft username "" since 2020 and now suddenly its telling me i cant use that name because its offensive. i changed my username to "derprydudes" instead as a test, and that was allowed, so i would assume it's being blocked because of the word "Derpy". theres absolutely no reason for this. is there any way i can get around this?

Hi. If your username is stated as offensive and you cant have the name then you cannot have it. Unfortunately there is no way around it, sorry.

Hi Kathy.

Sorry about my late reply. Christmas and new year has been busy.

To make the following a bit easier to understand, I will refer to my kids as Carl and Ida.

What happened is; I bought minecraft for Carl using a mojang account. Here I created one with one of my emails. I do have another mail, which is the one I believed to not have been used for anything minecraft related.

However, when I tried to migrate Carls mojang account, to a microsoft account, using my secondary mail account - it sure does look like my other kid Ida, had tried to use this for some minecraft related stuff, since this mail was the one used on her PC. With this I mean that Carls minecraft java username, looks to have not been transferred correctly, since his java username has changed to a username I think Ida has made at one point. This I tried to change back to Carls original username, but this I am not allowed to do.

That is basically what I am asking for. Is it possible to somehow free up Carls original username, so that I can change his current (mircosoft) java username back to his original?
