Frequently Asked Questions

How do I edit a Minecraft server player's inventory?

Stop the server first, then find <world>/playerdata/<uuid>.dat in your server files. Upload it here, edit the inventory using the visual grid, and download the modified file. Replace the original while the server is still stopped, then restart. Edits applied while the server is running will be overwritten.

Where is the server player data file located?

Inside your world folder: <world_name>/playerdata/<uuid>.dat for the main dimension. Each player has one file named after their UUID (with hyphens). On a multi-world server the default world folder is set by level-name in server.properties.

How do I find a player's UUID file from their username?

Use the UUID Lookup tool on MCWorldTools, or check the <world>/usercache.json file on your server — it maps usernames to UUIDs. The .dat file in playerdata/ is named with the hyphenated UUID (e.g. 069a79f4-44e9-4726-a5be-fca90e38aaf5.dat).

Can I edit player XP and health offline?

Yes — XP, health, hunger, food saturation, air supply, fire timer, position, rotation, dimension, game mode, and selected hotbar slot are all editable. Any fields you don't touch stay exactly as they were. Perfect for restoring a lost inventory or fixing an OP that got stuck in the Nether.

Is this safe for modded servers?

Yes. The editor preserves unknown NBT tags — including Forge/Fabric mod capabilities, attribute data, and inventory items from mods — so your modded player data round-trips without losing anything. You can safely edit vanilla fields without touching mod state.
