Minecraft is a game rooted in customization, as you have the ability to change just about everything in the world to your liking. However, if you're looking to change up your character itself, there are a few more hoops to jump through than just placing blocks. For those of you looking to swap out your Minecraft username, you've come to the right spot, as all the steps to do so are showcased below.

How to change your Minecraft username

For starters, there are a few different ways to change a username in Minecraft and the way you'll use depends on the platform you're on. For example, those playing Bedrock Edition on PlayStation, Switch, or Xbox have to change their system gamertag, which changes your username for all games, not just Minecraft.

You can change your console gamertag through the settings of your system. Some platforms only allow gamertag changes a certain number of times for free, though, so it might cost you some cash to change it. It's also worth noting that your gamertag has to be unique, so you can't pick one that's already in use by another player.
