King_ Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Mojang has announced that on February 4th name changes will be available. I was just wondering if I should expect any kind of issue if I change my username. Specifically, things like pets, locked chests, /homes, clanchats, and other things like that. Thanks!

Aypop Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 http://www.reddit.com/r/mcpublic/comments/2scsti/if_i_change_my_name_will_my_regions_and/ Last time this was addressed, people came under the conclusion that your account ID is independent of your actual name on the server. So all those things you list won't be affected majorly. However, that's theoretical, and potential unforeseen bugs might happen. If you think something's gone wrong when you change your name, consult a mod/admin/tech so that we can archive it and possibly correct it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyr0mrcow Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) So long as the plugins themselves are updated to use the UUID rather than the player's display name, things should be fine. But...that's a good topic.Are there any plugin versions still in use on the server (specifically PvE) that aren't updated to rely on UUID? I expect not, since the change is literally tomorrow, but figure it can't hurt to ask. Edited February 4, 2015 by Pyr0mrcow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aypop Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 RIP optimism Although it looks like most issues dealing with name changes are fixed or are fixable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
