Tired of Being Pickaxe Pete? How to Revamp Your Minecraft Bedrock Username (iPad Edition)
Let's face it, Steve and Alex get all the glory. But what about us, the adventurers with slightly-less-inspired usernames? Fear not, fellow blockheads! If "MinecraftMaster69" or "RainbowUnicornGirl" just isn't hitting the right notes anymore, this guide will turn you from a nameless nobody into a legendary...well, at least someone with a cooler username.
But First, Why Change Names?
Maybe "DuckyDestroyer3000" doesn't quite strike fear into the hearts of creepers anymore. Perhaps your younger sibling used questionable naming conventions on your account (we've all been there). Or maybe, just maybe, you finally figured out how to spell "MythicalWolfSlayer" correctly. Whatever the reason, a name change can be a fresh start, a chance to craft a new online persona that truly reflects your inner pickaxing prowess.
Here's the Diggity-Dirt on Changing Your Username:
WARNING! You can only change your gamertag (which is your username across all Microsoft games) for free once. So choose wisely, my friend. This isn't like picking out a new pair of socks – you're stuck with this for a while (unless you want to cough up some serious Minecoins, that is).
The Great Microsoft Account Odyssey:
- Boot Up the Xbox App: Yes, you read that right. Minecraft Bedrock uses your Microsoft account, so the Xbox app is your ticket to name-changing paradise.
- Unearth Your Profile: Tap that silhouette in the bottom right corner. It's like finding a diamond in the rough, only slightly less sparkly.
- Settings: The Gateway to Change: Dive into the mysterious world of Settings (represented by a gear icon, because everything is better with gears).
- Behold! The Change Gamertag Option: There it is, the beacon of hope! Tap it like your pickaxe depends on it.
Oh, But Wait! There's More!
A magical portal will appear (well, a website will open) asking you to sign in to your Microsoft account. Do it. Embrace your destiny.
Welcome to the Name-Changing Nexus!
Here, you can type in your new username, the one that will strike fear into the hearts of creepers everywhere (or at least make your friends chuckle). Make sure it's available! You wouldn't want to be stuck with "NotActuallyHerobrine123" because someone else snagged the real deal.
The Final Boss: Confirmation
Once you've settled on a username that would make Notch proud, confirm your choice. Congratulations, you've slain the username dragon and emerged victorious!
And Now, You Shall Be Known As...
Log back into Minecraft and witness your glorious new username in all its pixelated glory. Go forth and conquer, (insert your awesome new username here)!
