    Save and re-upload [#5-save-and-re-upload]

    Save in NBTExplorer, then upload the modified `.dat` file back to `/world/playerdata/` via `Files`.

    Start your server [#6-start-your-server]

    > ⚠️ **Warning:** The server must be stopped while editing player data. Editing while the server is running will be overwritten.

    > 💡 **Tip:** If you just need to clear a player's inventory, using `/clear [player]` in `Console` is much easier (player must be online).
