[1.12] Specific Player

[Razor]

Hey

 

How can i test for a player with a specific user name?

What are you trying now? I know that in 1.10 you can use PlayerList to get a specific player.

 

So first you'd get the server from your world with something akin to

 

PlayerList list = world.getMinecraftServer().getPlayerList();

 

then simply 

        list.getPlayerByUsername("cookie");

 

as far as I can tell this shouldn't have changed too much, considering we just switched from ServerConfigurationManager to PlayerList.

 

PlayerList can also be used to find a player by UUID, which might be more reliable for people who change their name. 

 

Note: I've checked this in 1.10, but since nobody else responded yet I thought I'd try and push you along the right direction. If this doesn't work you could always try to google for the PlayerList class and what happened to it in 1.12
