Short names are the scarcest kind of username: the fewer the letters, the fewer combinations exist and the longer ago they were claimed. These were all seen available on Mojang recently, grouped by length and refreshed all day.
4-letter names
Seen available on Mojang within the last month; confirm in the generator before claiming.
5-letter names
Seen available on Mojang within the last month; confirm in the generator before claiming.
6-letter names
Seen available on Mojang within the last month; confirm in the generator before claiming.
Every list above comes from names the generator actually saw available on Mojang in the last month, re-ranked all day as new ones are found and claimed ones drop off. Availability moves fast: run a name through the generator to confirm it is still free before you count on it.
Why are there no 3-letter names?
There are only 17,576 pure-letter 3-character combinations, and every last one was claimed years ago. When one frees up after a rename it is typically re-registered within seconds, usually by bots. No generator can honestly promise you a 3-letter name; anyone who does is selling something. Four letters is where a realistic hunt starts, and even there, available names are rare finds rather than a menu.
How to hunt short names
Set the length range to 4–5 in the generator and reroll: each run builds fresh candidates and checks them live against the Mojang API, so everything shown to you is unclaimed at that moment. Tight lengths mean fewer hits per run; patience and rerolls beat any static list.
