Hello there,
I'm thinking about changing my Minecraft username on the account I had previously used to donate to the server. I want to be sure that if I do so, that my donor perks will transfer over to the new user name. I have two Minecraft accounts and first will need to change the name on one of them, in order to free up the username for the one currently with donor perks to use. If it is instead possible to transfer my perks over from the currently linked account to the other one, that would be appreciated as it would make things a lot easier on me, although I am aware that's typically not done.
Thank you for your time and help in advanced.

u can change your name but not your account

 

Changing your username won’t change your UUID. So your ranks/perks will stay with the account as they are associated with your UUID

 

If you change usernames on your account, your ranks & other cosmetics will stay (as stated by Drogo, it is linked to your UUID, not your In-Game Name). I'm fairly certain that you have to remove [Private] chests on your island before you do, as issues may occur.

There is a way to transfer ranks to another account, but it is only used when the account you had a rank on is no longer accessible under any circumstances. So what you're planning to do (change the username on your non-ranked account and then renaming your ranked account) is by far the best way to do this.

Good luck!
