How to Edit Player Data with NBTExplorer

Learn how to use NBTExplorer to fix player inventories, locations, and other issues.

NBTExplorer lets you edit individual player data files to fix issues like players stuck in the void, corrupted inventories, or wrong game modes.

Editing Player Data

Go to namemc.com and search for the player's username to find their UUID.

Access the XGamingServer panel, stop your server, go to Files, navigate to /world/playerdata/, and download [UUID].dat.

Install and open NBTExplorer, then open the downloaded .dat file.

Common fixes:

Tag	Description	Fix
`Pos` (list of 3 doubles)	Player position X, Y, Z	Change Y to 100 to fix stuck-in-void
`Inventory` (list)	Player inventory items	Delete entries to clear items
`EnderItems` (list)	Ender chest contents	Delete entries to clear ender chest
`playerGameType`	Game mode	0=Survival, 1=Creative, 2=Adventure
`Health`	Health points	Set to 20.0 for full health
`foodLevel`	Hunger level	Set to 20 for full hunger
`XpLevel`	Experience level	Change to desired level
`Dimension`	Current dimension	Change to move player to a different dimension

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

⚠️ 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).
