While playing FTB Regrowth(survival themed modpack using HQM) i decided to change my old minecraft name via mojang's website. But very quickly i noticed that all my progress in HQM disappeared.

Considering that i can only revert the name change after 30 days(mojangs policy), this makes it kinda gamebreaking issue.

I think that all minecraft profiles have an unique permanent id attached to them. Shouldn't it be used to save the user info, instead of Minecraft nickname?

Read that. Entry number 2 to be exact.

To answer your question, changing it to the ID now would break EVERYONE'S progress, which is why we won't do it.

I wouldn't suggest to change your data model now, you can probably do it for MC 1.8 or 1.9, where nobody would expect backward compatibility anyway.

Also the "common issues" part belongs more to readme file, don't you find?

No not really.
Since you made an issue for it. And if you would've read the contribution
file, you would've known.

I will change it over for 1.8, while I'm still working on it atm.
