[Forge 1.19.3] Getting a player using the UUID in a packet constructor

[LittleEzra]

I am currently trying to make a flare using a server to client packet that sends a message in chat for every player on the server. This message needs information about the player that sent it (their name and position). I haven't been able to figure out how to get a player from inside a constructor that only takes in a FriendlyByteBuf storing their UUID.

On the client, you should be sending the entityId instead via #getEntityId.
