I have a small server and want to be able to play on it with my younger brother (not at the same time as I only have 1 pc) and I want to know if there is a way for us both to have separate characters with separate inventories and xp lvls. We only have 1 pc and 1 paid MineCraft account.
If anyone knows how servers differentiate the save data for the different characters in the world that would be great.
I was able to achieve a similar situation with an ARK:Survival Evolved server by having my brother make another steam account and then family sharing it with him. This worked because the ARK server differentiates and saves the character data based on the Steam profile name of the person logging into the server. Would some strategy similar to this work for MineCraft?
the only way I am aware to do this is every time you switch players, you manually change the playerdata file in your world save, but im not 100% sure this will even work

If I changed the username of the account would that work or does the server use some other datum to differentiate users?
it might work, but you can only change your minecraft username once a month...
I created a tutorial on how to switch between two separate inventories on minecraft.
