[1.7.10] How do I get an EntityPlayer from a UUID?

[Guest]

Hi. I have a player cache system that saves a player's UUID and displayname to a json file whenever a new player joins. That way I can get the players displayname for display purposes using the players UUID. However, I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve an EntityPlayer from a player's UUID. If so, how? I have looked through the EntityPlayer class and found nothing. Any help is highly appreciated.

Yes, it is possible - did you try searching the forums / Google? It has been asked several times already. IIRC, there is a method in World that should work; if not, take a look at EntityTameable, as that retrieves players by UUID.

Looks like func_152378_a in World does this. I'll do some research in Google though, just to make sure.
