Transfer Player Inventory to New World in Multiplayer

[Kuzjoe]

Hello all,

We are trying to start a new world in our server but would like our current characters' inventories to transfer to the new world. Is this possible?

I do not have a clue if there is some command for exporting the inventory into some file, and later importing it.
But i would try to use WorldEdit export/import commands.

You can try placing a big chest/trunk and put all inventory inside.
Then make selection using the World Edit, and export it into a JSON file.
Then you can import that chest (including everything it has inside) on your new world.
And of course, you would need to do this for every player (or place chests for all players, let them fill those, then export them all in one go).

Obviously, this is one super clunky solution, but if nobody comes with a better idea, maybe this is better than nothing.

Is it possible to change the seed of a world? If so maybe you could change the seed, then regenerate all chunks.

Welcome to the forums! If it's only a small handful of players(ie, you and a few friends), my advice is to make a list of what everyone has that absolutely has to be accounted for in a new world--ie, things that are not so easily replaced within the first day or two. Then just make a new world and use creative mode to retrieve the items on the list and distribute them to the correct players. 

If you have builds that you wish to transfer, you will need to use the world edit tool to save the build as a schematic, import it to a new world, and place it.
