[Question] Getting Players UUID From Their Name

Is it possible for you to get the players UUID from a config by typing their name?

The name would be the argument equal to the players UUID. So in the config, it will find the users UUID and add the "100 coins" to the total.

If this is possible, could you give an example?

The UUID's wouldn't be a problem if I would just use names, but I want to prepare for the name changing.

 

It is possible let me get on my laptop and I'll give you an example code

Epicballzy Ok so you know how you can get a players uuid by p.getUniqueUUID();
Well we are going to create a vable Player and do that so heres the code

Code:java

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
            Player target = Bukkit.getPlayer(args[1]);
            UUID u = target.getUniqueId();

honestly sometimes people just need to know how to google. sorry to use you as an example but the amount of posts i see on here that you could find an answer for in less then 30 seconds with a quick google search.

thecrystalflame You get better explanation most of the time on here rather then googling it

 

notice how that google search leads you directly to this forum? to one of the other hundreds of posts answering this exact same question?
