Minecraft Username Change
alexware123
Hello, I currently have two premium Minecraft accounts; xXFoxy_GrandpaXx and RondoNumbaNine. I was wondering if it was possible to change your username on a premium Minecraft account. If not, what should I do? I hate both names.

I was wondering the same thing.....
Mojang said they will add in in with 1.8, so it's possible if you have some patience
that's if its possiable because it might not work with the server banning thing unless its ip banned
I thought that would go with user-IDs then
Yes it will.
I knew this fact before Mojang knew themselves.
It will work with a "Player ID" system.
This means that you will have an ID, instead of a name, eg: 839201.
You will then be able to set your username.
When someone bans you on a Minecraft server, it automatically bans your ID, NOT your username. So no matter how much you change your name, your still banned. Also, it helps because other players who use your name after you switch won't be banned from the server, just your ID is banned, it won't have anything to do with IGN's.
This is called the "Player ID system".
I figured out how this would work once, then a few months later mojang announced how it will work too.
If you want to confirm this, just google it

I hate my name too but I would only slightly change it because people wouldn't recognise me. I would add a capital 'H' and maybe some other stuff.

If you hate both names trade with me.
I have cesarjfr and McMonarchist
If Mojang does add username changing sometime in the near future, it would very well work with server banning. Every user has a specific user ID (which is unique to that player and account). So if you changed your Username, all severs would have to do would be to check that the user is on a premium account (which Minecraft already does with using access tokens and user sessions), and then do a simple check from the users email (from the Mojang database).
I don't know if this is how they will actually do it. But it is a possibility.

I wish I got on minecraft early so I could get a short and simple name
EG: Greg, mark, sam, jack
I guess my current one is kind of simple ByronSmall. My old one was Tezza_Tough_Nuts haha

Yeah Byron, I know that feel. I made the account "Dylan" in alpha.
Foxy Grandpa is the best name ever
Yeah, I want to change mine too. :/
Mine is MAJ_Confusion but I want to change it to something like Confusion_
