Well, with an EntityPlayer instance : entityPlayer.username

But it is a final field. You can't change it.

"username is random" is a false assumption, by the way.

You Could Do it In 1.5.2 So Why Not 1.6.2

Probably to prevent someone from destroying Minecraft security system by changing people login at will.

But I am not Mojang, I can't tell for sure.

I can just read the code.

That Shouldnt Happen It Will Be A Bit Hard To Do As This Isn't The Launcher I Know There Is Away!

You want to change the username ingame? Don't do that

this make much more trouble as you think! Because a player still stays at that place as you bin before!

Its like freezing the game. And when you rejoin it yoi come out as the normal username. I had a lot of crashes in the game.

 

To find the username:

EntityPlayer.username = wtf;

 

i hope it helps.

add a launch parameter in your IDE to your run configuration.

the parameter is "--username <name>"
