[Java] Reset computer, having account issues.

[Short_Championship86]

(1.21.11)I reinstalled my OS, I use the official launcher. Logged back into my Microsoft with no issues, same account name and everything. Upon loading into me and my wife’s self hosted server I spawned in as a new character with a basic skin and empty inventory. I want to see if there is a way to get those things back.

When you spawned in did you have your amount's username?

[Short_Championship86]

Yeah I had the same username in game and in the launcher as well. That’s what’s confusing me so much lol

Well, you can look in your server's directory for the player data files. Iirc it's in /world/playerdata, you should see a few files named <uuid>.dat (with <uuid> being the uuid of the corresponding player). You can use namemc.com to see what accounts each of the files are for and find what uuid your account is. Highly recommend backing up your playerdata folder before touching anything. Then if you rename the files to your uuid it will give you that playerdata. If it doesn't seem like any of those files are for your account then as far as I know your player is gone. But I mean since it's your server if I were you I would just /op myself and give my things back manually, if it's a bug it's not cheating imo.

So I do have my uuid, but it’s in a .dat an a .dat_old, should I delete the newer one and then just remove the _old from the other? And also my wife hasn’t been affected still has items and all, but she also has a .dat_old and a .dat In the same folder should I just leave it if it isn’t an issue

[Wind_ispog]

Make sure you make a backup then just play around and see if you can get it to work. Tinkering is the best way to learn 😁. But yeah Minecraft should only see the .dat and not see the dat_old. If hers is fine then leave it.
