How to Reset Player Data on Your Minecraft Server

Learn how to reset individual player data including inventory, location, XP, and advancements.

Resetting player data removes a player's inventory, location, XP, advancements, and statistics. This can fix issues like players stuck in the void or corrupted inventories.

Resetting a Single Player

Stop your server

Access the XGamingServer panel and stop your server.

Find the player's UUID

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

Delete their data file

Go to Files, navigate to /world/playerdata/, and delete the file named [UUID].dat.

Delete additional data (optional)

To fully reset the player, also delete their files in:

  • /world/advancements/[UUID].json — Advancement progress
  • /world/stats/[UUID].json — Statistics

Start your server

Start the server. The player will spawn as if joining for the first time.

Resetting All Players

To reset every player on the server:

Delete all player data

Go to Files and delete all files inside:

  • /world/playerdata/
  • /world/advancements/
  • /world/stats/

⚠️ Warning: This permanently deletes all player inventories, locations, XP, advancements, and statistics. This cannot be undone without a backup.

Start your server

💡 Tip: If you just need to fix a player's position (stuck in void), consider using NBTExplorer to edit their data instead of deleting it entirely.
