Hello! It seems that I got a pretty “rare” bug, that makes my old nick (nickname) impossible to use in Minecraft (at least in Java- I’m not playing Bedrock). (first- it’s my second bug report, because first one was made “poorly” , or it was just bad- sorry for that part) For context: I used nick “Vifeer” for a few years; I changed it few times, but every time I returned to that specific one. Last time I changed my nick from “Vifeer” to something other, but wanted to change it back (about 3 months ago) it gave me tha info, that this nick can be offensive (at the time of writing- U don’t have screenshot).
Why am I (pretty) sure, that it is a bug? Last time I changed my nick in Minecraft, to one I didn’t like, I also changed it on other platforms; before I was going to change my nick in Minecraft, I did change it back on platforms like Epic Games, Steam, even Xbox- only in Minecraft I wasn’t able to change it to “Vifeer”.
That would be all I wanted to say (I’m sorry for my poor english skills, I’m not a native english speaker), I hope the problem will be seen and If someone's reading it, I have some questions:
Is it a bug, or nick “Vifeer” really is somehow offensive?
If it’s a real bug, will I be able to use that nick ever again?
