Check out how to change your Gamertag and Username in Minecraft.
If you’re wondering how to change your Gamertag in Minecraft, then you’re at the right place. The Gamertag is your alias or the in-game name. It will be on display to other players while playing multiplayer modes. Depending on your version, there are different ways to change the display name. In the Java edition, you’ll have a Username as your display. However, using the Bedrock version, you’ll have a Gamertag instead. This guide will show you how to change them.
As we mentioned before, Bedrock version users will have a Gamertag. The Bedrock version uses Xbox’s Account System to access multiplayer gameplay. So even players who use Minecraft Launcher from the Microsoft store will have this tag. If you purchased Minecraft after December 20th, 2020, you’d have to create a Microsoft account and, in turn, a Gamertag. But for old players, here’s what you need to do.
To change your Minecraft Gamertag:
Once you complete all the above steps, launch Minecraft and check if the changes are done. This process is for all the players with the Bedrock edition or those using Microsoft accounts. However, if you are playing on the Java edition, you will have a Username instead of a Gamertag.
