My Xbox Game Pass has expired, how can I change my Minecraft Java username?

Hi, David! thank you for reaching out.

My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

Are you referring to your Minecraft: Java Edition in-game username? if you are here's how to change it.

To change your Minecraft username, you'll need to sign in at https://www.minecraft.net/profile then click on "My games" > Minecraft Java Edition > Profile Name. This Minecraft support page explains in good detail how to change your in-game username, as well as the requirements for it:

Hi, i need help.

I have minecraft purchased from mojang page for a long time now. In december 2021 I purchased xbox game pass for PC. I had to reinstall my windows and my game pass expired and im not planning in purchasing it again. But i have come to realize that I can't install minecraft original launcher from the minecraft page, not game pass. It says that there is an error "minecraft error microsoft.4297127D64EC6_1.0.113.0_x64_8wekyb3d8nnwe - File system error (-2143322101) " and it has to do with xbox game pass. I need a solution, how is it possible that I can't play a game that i own since like +6 years easily?! I can't afford to buy a new copy of minecraft java because of my country and the rise of the price. My partner has the same problem.

Yes, one of my Microsoft accounts DOES show up as owning the game. However it also has a "Profile Name" button under the Minecraft Java section on the My Games tab, and it tells me that my username is already taken when I enter the username I was using on my Java account before migration.

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.
