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)
world\stats directory, which contains playername.json files. These contain the player's statistics and achievements.
world/players and world/stats and then remove the file.
On a single player/LAN world I just deleted everything in the minecraft\saves(the world you want to do it on) and only kept the folder that said region and the file that said session.lock and it deleted all player data from every player. But like I said, this will do it to every player. I don't know If that is what you wanted but I hope this could help.
