In-Game Account Switcher
by VidTu
With In-Game Account Switcher, a player can change which Minecraft account is signed in without closing the game.
What it does
The mod lets a player switch the signed-in account from inside the running client, so there is no need to restart Minecraft to log in as someone else. It is a client-side only mod: the server needs nothing, and players join with the account they picked.
It requires Fabric API on Fabric and Quilt, while Forge and NeoForge builds have no required dependencies. Mod Menu is optional and adds a configuration entry point. Files cover 1.18.2 – 26.3 on the current release line, with 9.0.8+26.3 as the latest build for each loader, and snapshot builds are also published. The code is under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source.
Key features
In-game account switching
The signed-in account can be changed while the game is running, without a full restart of the client.
Account list screen
A button in the client interface opens a list of accounts the player can choose from to log in.
Account import limits
The mod does not import accounts from files or add Microsoft accounts from access tokens or cookies.

Use cases
Testing with several accounts
A player who keeps a second account for testing can change the signed-in account in the same session.
Shared computers
A household that uses one installation can move between profiles without relaunching Minecraft.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who regularly sign in with more than one Minecraft account and want to switch between them during a session. Because the mod runs on the client only, it is installed by the player and not by server owners.
How it compares
Change My Account is a Fabric-only client mod for 1.21.6, released under All rights reserved and not open source. AuthAgain covers Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 and is open source under the MIT License. In-Game Account Switcher covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so it is the choice when a single build is needed across those loaders.
