For the first time in Minecraft‘s history, gamers will soon be able to change their usernames.
The feature was first teased by Mojang’s Kristoffer Jelbring on Twitter:

The news was followed up with an FAQ about the feature.
“We do not yet support changing or editing usernames, though this is planned for the future. We do not have a set release date for this feature,” Minecraft‘s support page stated. “Username changes will not be available before Minecraft version 1.8. This does not mean that 1.8 is the release date for the username change feature.
“Changing your username will be free, and limited to a certain number of changes in a given time period.”
We’ll let you know when the feature goes live.
