Minecraft usernames are 3 to 16 characters, using letters, numbers and underscores. We can't check whether a name is taken, so look it up before you commit.

How to use the name generator
Choose a style, then press Generate for 12 names. Add a keyword, such as your nickname or a favourite mob, to build names around it. You can set a minimum and maximum length, add numbers, or add underscores. Star the names you like to keep them in your favourites list, which is saved in your browser, and copy any name with one click.
Minecraft username rules
Java Edition usernames are 3 to 16 characters and may contain letters, numbers and underscores only. This tool never goes outside those limits. It can't tell you whether a name is already taken, so try your favourites on your Minecraft profile before you decide. Bedrock players sign in with an Xbox or Microsoft gamertag, which has its own rules.

Tips for picking a good name
- Shorter names are easier to type and remember.
- Skip real names, birth years and other personal details.
- Pick something you will still like in a year, not a passing meme.
- Running your own world? A Minecraft server lets you and your friends play under your new names.

What are the rules for a Minecraft username?
Java Edition usernames are 3 to 16 characters long and can only use letters, numbers and underscores. No spaces or other symbols are allowed. Every name this generator makes follows those rules.

Does the generator check if a name is taken?
No. A name can only be confirmed as free when you try to claim it on your Minecraft profile, so we don't pretend to check. Generate a few options and try your favourites there.

How do I change my Minecraft username?
Java Edition usernames are changed from your Minecraft profile on minecraft.net, and Mojang limits how often you can do it. Bedrock players use an Xbox or Microsoft gamertag, which has its own rules.

Can I make a name from my own word?
Yes. Type a keyword such as your nickname or a favourite mob, and the generator builds names around it. Keywords can be up to 12 letters for usernames, and the tool strips anything Minecraft doesn't allow.
