    So, I decided to change my Minecraft username to FirstMateStar for a little while as kind of an inside joke.

    All seems good, right?
    Let's go ahead and boot up the game.

    Huh, that's odd. Still my old name.
    Whatever, the game will probably still work. I'll try going on J&H.

    ...crap.

    And I tried other servers too. None of the ones I tried work (Singleplayer does work though).
    This has been going on all day and never updated. I'm getting concerned since every other name change I've done has worked perfectly and took effect right away.
    Is there any way I can fix this? Or am I just going to not be able to play MC for a month?

    This has happened to me before. I think you just need to wait a bit. That's what I did and it worked perfectly fine for me after.

    How long ago did you change your name?

    Try logging fully out of minecraft, then re-logging into it. Like logging out of your Mojang account. On the minecraft log in.

    Well I've heard that Mojang say on Twitter said to fully log out of the game, and restart.

    It should still work if it shows your old name. It still shows my old name and I'm online.

    THANK YOU.
    I can't believe I didn't do that.
    Thing is I didn't guess because I didn't have to before. :P
    Thanks everyone.
