Finding a player's UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) on a Hytale server is essential for accurately identifying accounts, as it remains constant even if a player changes their display name. This unique string of characters allows server administrators to reliably assign permissions, manage bans, and track player progress within server databases. By referencing the UUID instead of a username, server owners ensure that technical configurations and player data remain linked to the correct individual regardless of future profile updates.
