Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a Minecraft player's UUID?
Type a username into the search box. The tool queries the Mojang API and returns the player's UUID in both hyphenated (069a79f4-44e9-4726-a5be-fca90e38aaf5) and undashed formats. Both forms are used by different Minecraft server tools — copy whichever one your use case needs.
Does the UUID change if a player changes their name?
No — a player's UUID is permanent and unique to their Mojang/Microsoft account. Usernames can change, but the UUID always stays the same. That's why server player data files are named by UUID (not username): they survive renames.
How do I download a Minecraft player's skin?
Look up the player's username. The 3D preview shows their current skin. Click Download Skin to save it as a 64x64 PNG. You can then use that PNG as a reference, edit it in the Skin Editor, or just keep it as a snapshot of their look on that day.
Why does the tool show a cached result instead of the newest skin?
Results are cached for 24 hours to keep us inside the Mojang API rate limits. If a player just changed their skin and you want the latest, click Refresh — the editor will re-query Mojang and update the cache.
Is this tool OK with Mojang's rate limits?
Yes. We query Mojang through a rate-limited and cached proxy so the public endpoints aren't hammered. You can look up a few dozen usernames per minute without issue; beyond that you'll see a "try again in a few seconds" message until the limit clears.
