Locating A Lost Minecraft Base - Edunham

I happen to administer a tiny, mostly-vanilla Minecraft server. I was there playing with my friends in a remote location in the middle of nowhere earlier in the day. I slept on an unoccupied bed at the base thinking that would suffice to get me back later.



After returning to the spawn area and installing a warp plugin (and discovering that /warp is from Essentials), rebooting the server, and then teleporting to another coordinate to install their warps I tried killing my avatar in order to return it to its bed. Instead of waking from the bed, it resurfaced at spawn. My friends had signed off for the night, so I couldn't just teleport there. MCLIJST I hadn't even recorded the coordinates of the base. What can I do to get them back?



A little digging through the documents revealed that there doesn't appear to be a console command that can cause servers to divulge the last known location, or even the location of the bed of an individual player to an administrator. The server should have information about players because it will often recall their beds when they return to play.



On the server, there's a world/playerdata/ directory, which contains one file per player that the server has seen. These are the players UUIDs. You can paste them into this tool to make them usernames. I decided to skip the tool because the last modified timestamps revealed the files belonged to my friends who were both at our base. So, I copied an .dat file which appeared to correspond to a player's location or bed would be helpful to me. The file was GZipped as a result of running a file. However, unzipping it and looking for any strings to make it more understandable yielded no results.



The wiki reminded me that the .dat was encoded by NBT. The recommended NBT Explorer tool appeared to require a bunch of Mono runtime code to be compatible with Linux, so instead I grabbed some code that claimed to be an NBT wrapper for Python to see if it would provide any useful information.
