Why can't I change my name in minecraft?
When I launch minecraft if I change my name from the launcher, when I go in game my name is not changed.
I've tried exiting out of minecraft and the launcher but it hasn't reset my name.

You are correct in that Minecraft does not accept the username -=maxdude2074=-. Minecraft usernames can only contain letters and numbers. Therefore, unless you have an alphanumerical replacement for -= and =-, I suggest not worrying about username changes at present, as there is a cooldown for name changes.

How long do you have to wait until you can change your Minecraft name?
When you change you username, you have a 30 day cooldown before you can change your name again (so be sure you pick a name you like). Once you change your name, you are given 37 days (the cooldown plus a week) to revert back to your old name, before the old name is made available to other players.How do you edit your name in Minecraft?
