Minecraft Strange Nicknames

What's wrong with lie, 99, and Link?. As for ü, this relates to WEB-117.

PS: I tried to prevent this issue 😉

@@unknown: Isn't WEB-49 about ü , whereas WEB-117 is about u ?

@kumasasa It's the same user (c6893ba47cfd4002abea33d4b1bd3f7a).
WEB-49 caused ü to be renamed to u and also introduced WEB-117.

Ok.

@jomo the problem with 99 is that it's too short (3-16 character limit), Link is that there is also link, different capitalization, and there is nothing wrong with lie. Also, u with two dots isn't there anymore.

These are all old accounts, like, from before 1903.

Sorry, 2013.

Correct, it's an old account, but there's nothing wrong with that. The account ez still exists, too. The character limit prevents people from creating new accounts with short names, but shorter names are still fully compatible with Mojang's APIs etc. Usernames with non alphanumeric characters are not.

Maybe before in Minecraft Java Edition like in the old times, you can make a customized username.
