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!
like for example: [ID:137626386] "MCNAME"
Runescape
Steam
Hopefully we'll be able to do this.
Sometime in the future?
Cons:
1. Like someone said before you, change the ID. Hello? Anyone there?
2. That's why it's YOUR job to keep others informed if YOU decide to change your name.
3. Following your idea, signs don't overload Minecraft, and they have text all the time! Pets don't have any issues either in mods! Inappropriate? There's an amazing new invention called FILTERING, and IGNORING!!!
And HOW, just HOW, would people be able to grief with this, considering that they grief only in MP, and there are things called other servers, bans, and admins/reports?
because people will abuse it
My name is L33TKillah (Elite Killer), but i hate PVP.
And yes... The system needs to be like Steam.
- Limit name changes to 1 or 2 times only
- Create a word filter for the usernames so that we can have a safe community
- Have a small fee for name changes ranging from 1 - 5 USD
- After you have changed your username, you will have to wait at least 1 - 3 months before changing your name again
I hope the idea of changing your username will come into play soon.
or trick notch to changing his name to Herobrine XD why pay to change your name? what if you do have a rude or sexual name? if u dont have money then your stuck with getting banned from alot of servers just cause of your name i say dont pay to change a name
Account name, Log in with it and stuff
Screen Name , Everyone sees you by it
Same here... I had no idea my login name was going to be my in-game name. Assumed that in this day and age we had gotten past this antiquated method of account management.
I would have been fine if I'd been clearly informed at the time I make my account that this was going to be the same name displayed in-game.
