How To Delete Player Data On Your Minecraft Server – Scalacube

The first type of player data is known as “world player data”. This is usually stored in the main world folder for your MC server hosting server and tracks health, inventory data, ender chests, and a few other NBT values for players (such as their last location). The second type of player data is known as “plugin player data”. This is data stored by plugins (such as EssentialsX) that store extra information about players such as power tools they create or nicknames that they have set.

After you figure out their UUID, make sure your Minecraft server is stopped and open your FTP program. Navigate to your world’s player data folder. If you have not changed any settings, this would be in “/world/playerdata/”. Once you are in this folder you can find the file named “uuid.dat” and delete it. I have provided an example when using WinSCP. Notice that the path is “/Spawn/playerdata”. This server had the world name changed to “Spawn”.

Player data is any information that is stored about your players on your Minecraft server. The information is usually stored in a plugin folder or in the MC server hosting server’s world folder.

If you have followed this guide completely, the data for that player should be set to the default values the next time they join. If this did not work, make sure the player’s name and UUID are correct. If you are still having issues after this, feel free to contact Iceline Hosting’s support team for further assistance.

Every plugin stores data differently, but most plugins are quite similar. In this example, we will be deleting SirBlobman’s data from the EssentialsX plugin. First, you need to know the name and UUID of the player you are removing data for. An example of finding the UUID is displayed above, in the “How do I remove world player data?” section. Then, you need to make sure your MC server hosting server from Iceline Hosting is offline and open your FTP program. Navigate to the plugin’s player data folder. For EssentialsX, this would be “/plugins/Essentials/userdata/”. You can delete their “.yml” file. An example is provided below:

ARK: Survival Evolved

You may wish to reset a player’s location and inventory or edit their player file on a Minecraft server from time to time. It is useful when you want the player to respawn at spawn with an empty inventory or need to pull a player out of an area of the world that is causing server crashes or slow downs. This tutorial will give you the option of resetting or editing a player’s location and inventory by removing or editing the playername.dat or uuid.dat file.

Advanced users may want to edit their player’s data file using an external program called NBTExplorer. The benefit of editing the player’s data file is that their inventory won’t be erased or the player won’t lose modded information that is tied to the player (Forge/Cauldron Servers). The advanced sections assume that you have downloaded and opened NBTExplorer.

Always make a backup before changing the files on your server.

Minecraft 7.6 or newer (UUID)

On Minecraft 1.7.6 and above, Mojang uses a new UUID format.

Stop your server

Click here to look up the UUID of the player you wish to reset.

Connect to the server FTP.

On the remote site, open the game folder.

Open the world folder. It is usually world, unless you have changed it.

Open playerdata.

Simple: Delete, or download/rename and then delete, uuidyoulookedup.dat.

Advanced: Instead of deleting uuid.dat, download it to a location on your computer such as your desktop where you can easily find it.

From NBTExplorer, press the Open NBT Data Source button that looks like a folder.

Navigate to where you saved the uuid.dat file, select it, and press open.

Scroll down until you find the tag labeled Pos with 3 entries and press the + symbol next to it. These are the data tags that store where a player is in game.

Double click on the tags one at a time and change their values. The tags aren’t labelled, but they are X, Y, Z in that order. Y is height. Be careful what you set these numbers to as you can cause a player to spawn in the ground. I suggest setting their value to your world’s spawn or a known safe coordinate location.

Upload the uuid.dat back to your server in the same place you got it. Overwrite or delete the original one. Make sure that the player in question is not online at the time or it won’t work.
