So I just found out about this out and thought might aswell share it here.

I did not find this myself. Don't know who to credit for it.

I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU GET BANNED

With that being said, let's start.
You can change CAPITALS in your name by this simple trick.

1.Go to %appdata% –> .minecraft.

2.Open launcher_profiles.json and press CTRL+F type in your username and change the name to whatever you like between the quotationmarks (Again capitals only here). If it asks what to open it with chose notepad.

Change here. Again CAPITALS! only otherwhise you can't login into servers.

3.Save and exit.

Launch minecraft and you're ready to go.
