How to use the UUID Lookup
Look up Minecraft player UUIDs by username using the public Mojang API. View the player's current skin in a 3D viewer and download it as a PNG file.
Quick steps
- 1Enter a Java Minecraft username (or a UUID) in the search bar
- 2Copy the player's UUID in the standard hyphenated form
- 3See the player's current skin rendered in 3D
- 4Click the download button beside the skin URL to save it as a PNG file
Example use cases
- Find a player's UUID to edit their data file on a server
- Download a player's skin to use as a reference or import into the skin editor
- Verify a username-to-UUID mapping for server administration
Tips
UUIDs are unique and permanent — a player's UUID stays the same even if they change their username
Results are cached to reduce API calls — click Refresh Skin to get the latest skin
Frequently asked questions
How do I find a Minecraft player's UUID?
Type a Java username into the search box (or paste a UUID to find who owns it). The tool queries the Mojang API and shows the player's UUID in the standard hyphenated form, such as 069a79f4-44e9-4726-a5be-fca90e38aaf5, with a button to copy it. A few server tools want the 32-character form without hyphens: remove the four hyphens to get it.
Does the UUID change if a player changes their name?
No — a player's UUID is permanent and unique to their Mojang/Microsoft account. Usernames can change, but the UUID always stays the same. That's why server player data files are named by UUID (not username): they survive renames.
How do I download a Minecraft player's skin?
Look up the player's username. The 3D preview shows their current skin. Click the download button beside the skin texture URL to save the skin PNG, or Edit this skin to open it straight in the Skin Editor. You can use the PNG as a reference or just keep it as a snapshot of their look on that day.
Why does the tool show a cached result instead of the newest skin?
Lookups are cached to keep us inside Mojang's API rate limits, so a skin changed recently can show the old one. Click Refresh Skin to fetch it again from Mojang and update the cache.
Is this tool OK with Mojang's rate limits?
Yes. We query Mojang through a rate-limited and cached proxy so the public endpoints aren't hammered. You can look up a few dozen usernames per minute without issue; beyond that you'll see a "try again in a few seconds" message until the limit clears.
Can I look up a Bedrock player's UUID?
No. Bedrock accounts are Xbox accounts identified by an XUID, which Mojang's Java API cannot look up, so this tool finds Java players only. On a Java server that lets Bedrock players in through Geyser and Floodgate, their UUID is made from the XUID and starts with 00000000-0000-0000-.
