Can't change capitalization from the website
Hi,
So before you switched websites from mojang.com to minecraft.net. On the mojang website you used to be able to change your account names capitalization just fine. But on minecraft.net you can't and it just says that the name is already taken as shown in the attachment.
There is a method to change capitalization and Ill explain how although it is sort of complicated.
- Download Insomnia Core from insomnia.rest
- When downloaded you want to open it then click on the plus and make a new request.
- The name of the request doesnt matter but where it says "GET" you want to click on that and a drop down will show up where you want to select "POST". Then where it says "No Body" you want to click that and select "JSON" then create.
- On the top of the window right by "POST" you want to put in this URL "https://api.mojang.com/user/profile/uuid/name" where it says uuid youre going to want to put your UUID in. You can find your UUID going to https://mcuuid.net then entering in your IGN. You want to copy the "trimmed uuid" which should look something like this "3e21b6f1fa434d07bccd02e99dbc5bbd". Once you have your UUID you want to replace the uuid in the URL with the UUID you just got so it should look like this "https://api.mojang.com/user/profile/3e21b6f1fa434d07bccd02e99dbc5bbd/name"
- Next where you can put text you want to put in {"name":"Desired Name","password":"Your Password"}. Where it says Desired Name you want to replace that with the name that you want so in this case the capitalization. Lets say that I want to change my name from "bittersweets" to "Bittersweets" so I would put {"name":"Bittersweets","password":"Your Password"}. And obviously where it says password you want to put in your password.
- When youve done that click on "Header" at the top. Then click on "New Header" in the textbox. When youve done that you want to type in "Authorization" into the first box.
- Next youre going to want to go into minecraft.net and login. When youve done that either press F12 on your keyboard or Right Click + Inspect. Next youre gonna want to find "Network" and click that. Then its going to tell you to do Ctrl + R to refresh the page. When you do that youre gonna see a bunch of stuff popup. Youre gonna want to find the second "user" and double click it. When you do that scroll down until you see something like "Authorization: Bearer "Bunch of random numbers and letters" Youre gonna want to copy everything after Authorization: so youll only have Bearer "random characters".
- When you have that copied youre gonna want to go back to Insomnia and where it says value youre gonna want to select that and paste in the stuff you just copied.
- When youve pasted that in right next to the first box where you put in your UUID youll want to press "Send"
- If it was successful on the side to the "Send" it will say "No body returned for response" and youll have sucessfully changed the capitalization of your name.
please fix this it takes a while to do and its really confusing
