What is Minecraft UUID Converter?
The Minecraft UUID Converter transforms Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) between formatted 36-character hyphenated UUID strings (Java 8-4-4-4-12 format) and 32-character trimmed hexadecimal UUIDs without hyphens.
This tool is essential for server administrators, web developers, and database managers working with Minecraft player records across MySQL databases, BungeeCord proxies, and plugin config files.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between formatted and trimmed UUIDs?
Formatted UUIDs include hyphens (e.g., 8667ba71-47b5-4803-a6dc-a1147578e1b7), whereas trimmed UUIDs omit hyphens for compact database storage.
Does converting a UUID change the player profile?
No, converting between trimmed and hyphenated representations preserves the exact 128-bit numerical identity of the account.
Why do legacy databases use trimmed UUIDs?
Legacy databases and web APIs strip hyphens to save 4 bytes per row and standardize fixed 32-character string columns.
