Hello, I'm Bunnibon. I remember the day when we got to change our usernames for the first time. And over the year, I've been switching to new names, but there's always that thing in my mind that goes, "Ew what the hell, what kind of name was that?" Then I realized, maybe there could be a way to remove past usernames. Say, every month, you're allowed to remove 1 username of your choice. It can't be your original name, and it can't be your current name. If you wanted to remove multiple usernames at the same time, it would cost maybe like 5 dollars or something.I would really like to see this implemented because it would give a chance for players that wanted to start new or maybe remove embarrassing or inappropriate names.
Thank you for reading my suggestion. Feedback is always appreciated!
That would make it too easy for the hackers/cheaters/idiots to cover their tracks. $5 just to remove your username history? I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. And I don't see the big deal. The only reason going for this is just to get rid of some past embarrassments.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

Aren't players now internally tracked by player UUID rather than username?
So removing your name history wouldn't really change up much. Maybe make it a bit harder, but that's about it.
I don't support this, though. There isn't any indicator in-game to tell what your past usernames were, so I doubt most people would go out of their way to search up your past usernames and such.
I would not pay money to remove an old username. I have never changed it since I used my old name I used when I first played Minecraft, and I don't want to change it.
NO SUPPORT ANYWAYS. NOT GONNA PAY MONEY TO GET RID OF AN OLD USERNAME.

I don't even play Minecraft much anymore yet here I am on the Minecraft forums for some reason...
You would only have to pay money if you wanted to remove multiple names at a time. But if you only removed one username when you are able too, it would be free. Anyways, this is just an idea. Not like something's going to come out of it anyways

Sites like NameMC appear to keep track of your past usernames; the same also goes for skins (there was a recent thread concerned about stealing skins):

Also, some servers probably look up new applicants to see if they had any past trouble; however, I doubt they will (and should not) reject players just because they had a weird username, and more likely they search by UUID. Most players probably won't bother looking up your username history either, and even if they were removed what if you mentioned it in a post somewhere online (will you go back and edit every single post to delete them - if they even let you - plus there are websites that archive web pages)?

I'm well aware of sites like those. Hence why I said "In-game"
There is no clear indicator in-game that you've changed your name, but of course sites like those can easily show you username history and such.

I don't see the point in this. Its not like somebody is gonna see you on a server and say "hey i wonder what that guy's past names were) and check them out, only to see embarrassing names. Most people who see your past names are usually close friends, and probably already knew about the names. Sorry, I just don't see what the point of that would be. And plus, this is more of an addition to certain websites, rather than Minecraft itself.

Got an unpopular opinion? Want to share it? You can post it right here! Just don't start flame wars and be nice!
I also want to get rid of some nicknames that I've used in the past time, but I am pretty unsure of the availability to assume that. If you think vise wersa, so I would be appreciate to hear that. I am also waiting for this feature to release 😋.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

It wouldn't have that much of a point to remove your username history.
It's YOUR fault that you chose those names at some point. Besides, isn't it kinda fun to look at old cringe filled names?

Ever see a bad forum post online? That's probably me.
