Files containing Minecraft player data no longer being saved...

Hey all,

I have the following code. I am trying to save player coordinates in a file within a folder called 'playerdata'.

However, when I run the code the 'playerdata' folder appears but the file does not appear within that folder...

The code worked perfectly last week. Not sure why it is not working now?

I have tried re-creating and re-uploading the '.jar' file onto the Shockbyte external server that I am using to host the game but this does not seem to work. I have also checked the wifi etc but this also does not seem to work.

Is there something I could change with the code?

Would be so grateful for a helping hand!

Thank you so much for your support - I have changed my code by adding an 'event handler' and it now works
