Are name changes smooth? by UmbreonMessiah March 3, 2015 at 4:03 AM UTC

This is a quick question for those of you that have changed your name in minecraft, is it a smooth process? Like, will my avicus profile detect it and update? I am thinking about changing my name soon, but would like to know if it will be a hassle.

It will auto-update most things. If you have an OF Cape you have to login to optifine.net and switch the name. For Avicus forums account, you have to go in-game and do /register to get it to display your new name. Not too much work though

Yes, just change your name and log into the server, and it'll automatically update on the website. I've heard stories about Optifine capes not working though.

Edit: dammit, ninja'd ;-;

I didn't even have to do /register. It just auto-updated.

You only have to re-register if you Change any letters or numbers or add any underscores. If you only fixed capitalizations things you should auto update just fine. And your stats will move over, to your new account.

No, the whole process was made seamless within the first few hours after name changes went public. As far as I know, the only people who encountered any problems were those who tried changing their usernames immediately (in under five or six hours, I believe). I changed mine shortly after Kylo announced that he'd fixed it, and the website perfectly sorted everything else out.
