Every one of us picked our Minecraft user name when we signed up on minecraft.net for the first time (and every time thereafter). For most of us, knowing that whatever name was chosen is stuck with us forever is just a part of the game. Still, what if you gave yourself a silly or inappropriate name? What if you're just tired of the one you have? Currently, this means getting another copy of the game - but maybe not for long.
Jeb hinted that username changes might be a feature in the near future, something that Mollstam is looking into currently. While there is no set date - or even a hinted one - for the feature's arrival, it would seem that it's more a matter of "when" than "if" now.
Maybe I can use this opportunity to change my name to "MrFluffykins".

Wiki Skin Overhaul
For years, the Minecraft Wiki has followed the same visual format as many wikis - it's a tried and true look, after all. For one user - namely, Ultradude25, an administrator on the wiki - this just wasn't good enough. Leading the effort to revamp the wiki's appearance, the community has given Minecraft's most popular wiki a complete make-over - head on over and check it out!
Minecraft Wiki will seem quite familiar to forum regulars - keep in mind however, that the visual re-design was done entirely by volunteers! It is, in many ways, another reminder of just how strong the Minecraft community is, and how far it reaches. It's hard to think of another gaming community with such strong dedication, passion and sense of unity. Congratulations to Ultradude25, and everyone who helped him out on this incredibly ambitious project!
That's so true about the hacker part. This is one of the CONs that is preventing this from happening.
But then I jumped for joy.My name is lolsophia8 and I hate it.
I have to agree with this. There would be heaps of people abusing this feature. Maybe not all, but lots. I still find this an interesting idea though, and would like to see how it is implemented.
Jfc, this post is almost a year old and every child from here to Timbuktu's quoting it. Just stop.
And on a side note, don't be so goddamn childish. I'll die before I take filthy orders from an eight year old...
We're still waitng for that feature. I really want to change my username so bad
There would have to be some sort of user identification number that was tied to the account. You would ban the number and that would ban the account no matter what they changed their username to.
I personally would not use this feature, but i support getting since it seems so many people want it.
Anyways I Think They Should Add The Name Changing Feature In The Next Update Or Soon Because I Got This Username When I Was 8 But Now I Really Don't Like It, It Sounds A Bit Childish And Its Really Buggin Me Everytime I Play Minecraft. But They Should Also Add A Form Before Someone Changes Their Username Asking Why They Want To Change Their Username For Preventing Griefers Or Trolls Changing Their Username Everytime And They Should Also Add This Feature When Someone Apply For A Username Change, They Get 7 Days Of The New User, But When They Check The Form And Think Its Bad, They Change The User Back To The Old One And If They Approve, The Player Gets To Keep Their New Username
