Mojang has finally unlocked the ability to change your Minecraft username. Obviously, many of you are confused about how this affects Shotbow - thus this FAQ. This list will be updated as new questions are asked and data is confirmed.

Will I lose my premium or kits?

No! All purchases (XP or real money) are tied to your unique identifier.

Will I get unbanned?

No! Bans are also tied to your unique identifier.

Will my name change on the forums?

Yes! But not yet. There is more work necessary to make this possible. It is recommended you switch to logging in with your accounts email address instead of your username.

Should I register a new account here, now that I changed name?

No! The website will update soon to reflect your changes. Do not make a new account on Shotbow.

Will I lose my stats on Annihilation?

No! You should not lose your stats.

Will I lose my progress in MineZ?

No! You should not lose your items or progress in MineZ.

Will I lose my ELO on SMASH?

Yes. ELO is not yet tied to unique identifiers. To remedy this we are planning to start a new SMASH season.
