Minecraft Java Edition Server – How to Reset a Player’s Progress

minecraft-java-editionminecraft-java-edition-server

I have a Minecraft server I've just started for a few friends. We're playing on hard, and I'm going to set it up so that players spawn with a few minimal items to get them going. Some of them jumped in briefly and logged out after less than 5 minutes last night. How do I reset their progress so that when next they log in, they spawn as if they have never logged in before and have the items I set new players to spawn with?

I.E., how do I make the server forget that they were ever there?

If you remove the files in the world\players and world\stats folder, the server will forget that they were there. If this is a bukkit server, there is a players folder in each world. Files are named with the ID of the player, so you can delete selectively. To get the ID of a player, open https://api.mojang.com/users/profiles/minecraft/(playername) (substitute (playername) with the actual player name)
