On the Minecraft Wiki it says that in 1.6 you have the ability to change your username.
How?
How?

Like countless sites like Steam, you should be able to change your display name freely while maintaining a set username for server and save purposes.
If they do change the username they need to have a list that's updated every second that's on minecraft.net and it would hold all player usernames like this
Prev user=New user
This would be implemented into servers some how?

I Would Love That Ability Since I Made My Account Have My Real Name So I Would Love That Option.
I think it would be great if you could change your minecraft username. One thing that people would be worried about is servers and whitlists. What they could do is for server ops allow them to see what there actual minecraft name is and it would be displayed nect to there name in brackets when you press tab (Pressing tab is already a feature). So the player is banned forever even if they change there name in game. Thats my opinion anyway.
I think that this has the potential to occur, although it should just change the displayed name, not the physical one itself.
Its a little bad idea of changing your username cause like if YouTuber changes username then a person gets to change the username to that YouTuber it will be bad. I think that servers will take a little longer to change new version. You should pay like 2 Dollars for new username.
If people don't really use IP bans anymore, well I guess they're gonna have to start.
If they make the name changer in minecraft. What will happen to the simple bans? They can just change their name and bam they're not banned forever anymore.
Plus no one really does ip bans anymore.
Its a stupid idea I say.

How do you change it though??
This 'code' would work with banned players. I like the idea of changing usernames. But would it be free or would you have to pay a little bit of money to change it?
I think what the idea was would be to ban not the username, but the actual person through the launcher or something. And there's always ./banip!
Imma change my name! NAW.
Like everyone said, I'd like to change my username as well.
Although, the idea of changing your username has been up in the air for a while.
A lot of people, just like me, have made the mistake of making a username they resent and in the desire of hoping to change their username, they've thought of a better one or several possibilities they might like and couldn't wait for the feature to be available.
For reassurance, this is where IP Banning comes in handy (I guess?) because I wonder what'll happen if someone can re-visit a server they were previously banned on with a previous username.

I think that everyone should have a code and when someone gets banned they no longer can join that server even when they change the name because of the code
Would be nice with some kind of id yea, but it would be hard to make
Thanks for all your help and feedback guys.
That is the most horrible idea they ever have gotten. What about all the people you have banned? Nobody really uses ip bans, so that would be a living hell for server owners
Well if they put the changing usernames thingy in 1.6, they'll just have to ip ban them.
No guys. The system will work with an automatic bannishment of a secret code combined to the account itsself. Banning won't be a problem.
Yes, but what about your already 300 banned players, that you don't have the ip of?
im going to change mine.
It's not happening any time soon
Actually Riot, it's been a while since they've been thinking about it, so it could possibly be in the next sub-update.
I want too because my name was picked by my cousin. He was 5 and I said that I woudl choose my own name so he bawled his eyes out. So I chose PwningZombie....
On the other hand I don't want to change it because everybody would think I went missing,

I'm definitely not changing mine, as people on my two servers wait, shaking in their seats for that message: samkee00 joined the game.
I think a lot of people (like me) want to alter it a little, just because we probably didn't think about it much. I know I will change mine a little.
I don't see where you can change it. Anybody have a link to where I can change my name?
Yeah I want a link too. Can someone PLEASE post a link?!
Changing names was only planned. They don't know what version it was intended for - it's been in the "upcoming features" list since like 1.2.
-P
-P
I am definately going to change my username.
I almost want to. On one hand, I want to change it because everyone calls me a unicorn (Cause they can't tell the difference between a mythical horse, and a planet eating transformer). On the other, I want to keep it cause I like it.
I use to have a server called UniCraft, short for UniverseCraft. People always called it UnicornCraft so I changed it.
oh this is gonna be awesome i wanna change it right now :p
I would love to change my username!
Could you post a link? I cant find it and I'd like to read it.
