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.

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

Hi Glenn, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Glenn, Minecraft and its support have their own policies established since the launch of the game, in the case of the username you can only change it once every 30 days and this is a non shortenable period or at least not on the part of Microsoft, you must in any case contact Minecraft support and they are the ones who give you an option or ratify the measure and you must wait for the 30 days to elapse.

You can open a ticket with Minecraft support from the link

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 Bartosz

Sorry to hear about that, however, gamertag and Java username are different, although both are linked to the same Microsoft account. Gamertag can be changed when you pay a fee, while Java username can be changed every 30 days.

Since your preferred Java username is attached to your old account, there's no way to release or remove that unless you change it so you can use it on your new account.

For your reference: https://help.minecraft.net/hc/articles/44089501...

"Note: You can change your Java profile name once every 30 days. If you change your mind after changing your Java profile name, you can go back to your old name after waiting 30 days."

Note: This is a non-Microsoft website. The page appears to be providing accurate, safe information. Watch out for ads on the site that may advertise products frequently classified as PUP (Potentially Unwanted Products). Thoroughly research any product advertised on the site before you decide to download and install it.

At this point, you may want to get a subscription on your old account so you can release the username, or purchase the game if you opt too or just create a new username for your new profile which is way more unique and better.

Additionally, its not possible to transfer game license from one account to the other.
