Minecraft: Referencing other players


Naenuhlae

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm new to modding and am trying to create a mod that adds a command that swaps two players. My only problem is that I can't figure out how to get to a certain player's data by their display name. I am completely stumped as to how to go about doing this, and have searched all over the internet for a solution. I'm not new to java and have a lot of experience coding, so all I need help with is how to reference another player (or get their UUID or gameprofile).

 

Thanks!

I would not recommend using the player's display name as a means of referencing them. You should probably use their integer id, which is shared across both the server and the client. You can get this with PlayerEntity#getEntityId
