Hey guys, first post although have played minecraft for quite some time
But honestly, this feature needs to be added asap...
I know that they are planning on adding this feature in the future, but how long is that going to take?
I am sick off my name and so are many other players and I thought that this feature would have been added some time ago and have not seen it implemented yet
Really hope notch and minecraft team add this in REALLY soon
Maybe there could be the account name/number, which gets banned, and the display name, which floats over their head and shows up when they talk. If you say "/ban display name" it bans the account name/number.
The solutio is a account name and Username
Server admins would Be able to see there account name and ban that
Your username would be changable and that would be how u appear to players
I think they could make it like Blizzard. The first ever name change, in case you don't like your name anymore or made a spelling mistake, which you didn't notice while registering, is for free. If you want to change your name a second or even third time, you have to pay for every single change.
So, you maybe think:"Why not just buy a new account?"
Well, problem with that is, people like me who bought the game very early (Alpha 1.0.something for me) don't want to lose their Alpha-"Status". I'm proud that I bought it early, and I don't want a new"Full Release-Acount".
So, if I have to pay for a name change, that would be ok for me.
I think it's the best solution for this long existing problem.
(But I don't think it will happen soon. Mojang is a lazy company.)
Well said!
That would be a great idea, I hope they do something like this soon!
I bought it in alpha to
They should make it like steam.You have a username and an account name.Actually when i was first registering i thought it was like steam.So i didn't care much about the account name.When i did see how it works i was pretty disappointed.
To people saying it would stop name-based bans, it would be fairly simple to assign an ID code to each account and ban that in lieu of a name-based ban. You would still type in the name, but it would ban the account, not just the name.

This won't happen, the number 1 reason being:
GRIEFERS! Griefer got banned? amg the griefer can just change his name and come back, onoes!
Oh, want a different username?
Buy a new account, kthx.
People get banned by their ip though.
Also, why spend 20 dollars on a new username? I hate my minecraft ign but not enough to spend 20 dollars on a new account.

Well maybe the server will keep track of the computer the person is on and not the account and maybe if name changing gets approved you'll have a limited amount of changes.

Uh, no. It would likely just be your ingame name, an aesthetic name, you would still have your original username at the core of your account. Therefor the ban would still affect you.

Maybe only once a month or something instead.
That's when the command /ban-ip comes in handy.
Economy based city server

Then the griefer can go on a proxy IP :smile.gif:

Anyways, who keeps bumping these threads that are older than 6 months old? It will give you an infraction!
With the suggestion, this has been suggested SEVERAL times before. But I see this was suggested almost a year ago, so it might be legitimate.
People get banned by their ip though.
