How to trasnfer playerdata (inventory, cords) to new server?

As in the title, I am looking to transfer player data. I have copy pasted playerdata from the old world file and inserted it to the new world file, but it doesnt seem to work. Did I do something wrong? Does it even work?

I see you also want to transfer coords. Is it the same world on both servers? if it’s the same world, simply copy/paste the entire world directory and you’ll be fine

I basically just trimmed the map and regenned it with chunky, but playerdata seems to have been gone. despite there being entries

(plugins would also want their player data transferred, like Essentials for example)

should just be the world/playerdata folder that needs moved over, right?

yes little confused as to why it wouldn’t be working at that point considering that’s what OP said they did

Was the server stopped when the files were copied over?

server was stopped, I downloaded everything, deleted everything, made map edits (playerdata was included there), then uploaded new editted map (including playerdata), installed updated modpack Started the server and I end up as a first time joiner on the server when testing

Did your playerdata get reset to nothing, or did it create a new one?

Then where is the new, empty, player data going? :thonk:

I think it overwrites it? I am in the process of downloading the old player data again somehow, the files got overwritten before with old.gc no idea what that meant replacing it again worked out this time thanks for your time guys!
