[Enhancement] Placeholder string for Player UUID #287

Open Sqaaakoi opened 6 years ago

Sqaaakoi commented 6 years ago

Currently, the only way that you can identify the current player is by using the players username. Usernames can be changed and might not be accurate.

uuid# would provide the players UUID.

although usernames can changed so can text files and they can still be fetched straight from mojang to get all relevant data using usernames.

But at any time Mojang may depreciate username, and sites that deal in player data scraping from Mojang have been warning us about that.

jredfox commented 4 years ago

there always has to be a link between uuid and username mojang and servers cannot and will not run without them. Even xbox gamertags runs similar they have both an id and a username. So does discord.

Hey just to come back to this, I have been trying to use the UUID instead, as that would give more support to the mod users for allowing the use of different API's in which can only use the UUID due to the user name lookup being disabled or banned on there end. Is there any way to support UUID's for the sake in which it would allow the end-users to use other API's that utilize the UUID inputting?

X-Niter commented 4 years ago

My comment is more in regards to being able to use something like #uuid# for supporting other API's. I know the individual that opened this originally did not exactly ask what I am asking.
