Can I retrieve the position of an offline player in SMP?

Question

In Minecraft Vanilla SMP, having access to the server, can I somehow retrieve the position of an offline player?

Answer 1

Yes. Use NBTedit or its successor, NBTExplorer.

Download and run it, choose File → Open, go to your Minecraft server directory, find players directory, and then select the name of player you want, for example Player.dat.

You should see something like this:

You need to go to "Pos", and there you have it, coords of player you wanted.
Just double click any to edit it.
