Is there a way to change Minecraft usernames BACK before the 30 days?

Hello Tom,

I'm an Independent Advisor. Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I will be responding to you in short period of time and I apologize for a delay in response. As I am merely a user trying to provide insight and information that may be helpful.

I understand your concern. Are you referring to Minecraft: Java Edition username? If so, I'm afraid you can only change every 30 days. Your old username is saved for 37 days so you can claim it back after waiting 30 days.

For your reference https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/articles/44...

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns about this.

Regards,

I'm Samy an independent advisor. Welcome to the community. How are you?

Can I change my username?

Users who have a Mojang account or a Microsoft account can change their username for free at www.minecraft.net/en-us/profile. Click Change next to your profile name.

If you have an older account and you sign in with your username, you need to migrate to a Mojang account before you can change your username. Minecraft support is unable to assist with changing usernames as system is set up to be self-service.

How often can I change my username?

You can change your username once every 30 days. When you change your username, 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 username becomes available to anyone else.

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.

Hi there Swag, my name is Gerardo, and I'm an Xbox player. I'll be happy to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.

I'm sorry to inform you that if you changed your Minecraft Java Edition username by accident, you won't be able to change it again until 30 days have passed, as it is the time period established by Mojang for each change.

According to the following link, even Minecraft Support cannot assist you in changing the game's username:

https://help.minecraft.net/hc/articles/4408950195341-Minecraft-Java-Edition-Username-VS-Gamertag-FAQ



However, there's no need to worry since nobody can take your previous username during this period, as your previous username is saved for 37 days, as stated on the same website.

I appreciate your understanding and if you have further questions please let me know.

Kind regards,

Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Minecraft username.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to bypass the 30 days' timeframe upon changing your Minecraft username.

However, you can still try to contact Mojang Support since this is an unauthorized change from your Minecraft account:

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.
