A day after changing my IGN I decided to log onto a modded server that I am established on. When I logged on I saw that because I changed my name, my inventory was gone and I was no longer able to teleport to my house. I could travel back on land but the issue is that my home is protected for my other name with a plugin and instead of chests in my home, I have strongboxes that are also protected for my other name. The post on Mojang's website states that I have to wait 30 day to change my name back. Is there any other way to change it back without waiting a month?
Contact the author of the problematic plugin. People are going to be running into this issue a lot now that name change is available so he likely knows. There may be a fix in the works already so check. If yes, get your admin to install the update.
I know this post is old, but here's a quote from the post from mojang about name changes.
How far back does this work?
Username changes can be fully supported in-game as of Minecraft version 1.7.10 (released June 2014). If you were to play on a very old version of Minecraft, the game would treat your new username as a separate player. This article assumes that you are using a somewhat recent version of the game or server software.
Also:
What happens to my old username after I've changed? If you change your username, your old name is held for 37 days. This gives you an extra week to change back if you've made a mistake or changed your mind
This means that after the 30 days just change your username back to what it originally was, and everything will be dandy.
