How to choose a name in Minecraft

Before going into the details of this guide and knowing the procedure for changing your name in Minecraft, let me give you some tips and directions to choose the best name to use in the game.

First of all, you need to know that in Minecraft it is no longer allowed to create names that contain less than 3 characters: consequently, your new nickname must necessarily contain a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 16 characters. You can use all letters of the alphabet (upper or lower case) and numbers, but spaces and special characters are not allowed except for the underscore “ _ “.

Furthermore, you cannot use a name already occupied by other users: if the nickname you have chosen is not available, you will be forced to choose another one or apply a small change such as adding a number. Once you have applied the change to the name, to change it again you will have to wait 30 days, while the old name will remain “blocked” for 37 days: this means that if you have a second thought, you will first have to wait 30 days to change the name again, after which you will have 7 days to decide to take back the old name before it is made available and is occupied by other users.

If you have little imagination and do not know which name to use on Minecraft, you can connect to the NameMC site and take a cue from the names used by other users. On this platform (not affiliated with Mojang), you can view the Skins of the moment and search for Minecraft users by name or UUID (Universally Unique Identifier). Furthermore, by pressing on the Names item in the top menu you can view the Recent Names with the list of recently modified names and the Names available shortly with the list of nicknames that are about to become available again.

After having clarified some useful aspects for choosing the name, let’s now see how to put these tips into practice. Changing your name in Minecraft is a simple and free operation that takes just a few minutes.
