Each player that has connected to your server has a file which contains information about their inventory and whereabouts. Sometimes the server goes down and you need to delete a players file. After deleting their data file, players will be able connect as though they were a brand new player.
Follow these steps to successfully reset individual player data on your server:
To prevent any corruption, make sure your server is offline before you begin any tutorial that involves manipulating server files.
1. Firstly, we require the UUID of the player. You can reset the data by going to https://namemc.com/.
The Universally Unique Identifier (or UUID) is a unique identifier given to players when they join a server. It allows them to easily access information about the player, item storage, and other details.
1. After you have found your player, a unique identifier will be displayed under their name. Similar to what is shown in the below image. To make it easy to find later, write down the UUID on a sticky note or notepad.
2. Now, go to your ServerMiner Control Panel. Click File Manager. If you are familiar with FTPs, the following steps can be repeated on FileZilla.
3. Enter the folder of whichever world you currently have loaded onto your server. If you aren't sure which world to use, you can view the Minecraft Worlds tab on the ServerMiner Control panel to find out.
4. Navigate to the playerdata folder and enter it, this is where all the data (Inventory/Positions) of the players who join your server are stored.
5. If you don't have many files, you can search for the UUID and refer to it to the UUID that you have written down.gslist You can also use the shortcut Ctrl+F for searching for the UUID. Once you've found it click the checkbox, and hit the Delete key.
Congratulations! Congratulations! You can now open your server and allow that player to join it! They will then spawn in your world spawn with no items in their inventory.
