Hi Liscio. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

All unmigrated accounts will be deleted at a future date, at this time Mojang has not confirmed when this date is or when the usernames associated with those accounts will be made available. Keep a look out on the Minecraft website for any news.

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this is the only way to get a gamertag change right now. However, I did want to clarify that your Minecraft Java username is separate from your gamertag. In-game your username will display your Minecraft Java username and not your gamertag. You are free to change your Minecraft Java username as many times as you would like for free after each waiting period. I hope this answered your question.

Thanks,

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.

Hi RheaVT，

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.



I realize that you've encountered a problem with Minecraft java edition username and I understand how you feel.



Unfortunately, you cannot change your username to one that is already in use by another player. Each player's username is unique to ensure that each player's identity is unique and secure. If you would like to change your username, you can do so on the Mojang website, but you must choose a username that is not already in use by another player.

You will need to contact Minecraft Support for help with this issue.



Thanks for your patience and understanding!
