Copying World and activated Waystones for each player

[xD1Fafa]

Hey, so my old server kinda bugged out and nobody could join, whiches why I now copied the world into a new one. While I was testing if there were any issues I found out, that the waystones I activated didnt save in the new world and that I'd have to reactivate every one of them again. Is there a way to fix that?

Waystones stores data in two places. The list of waystones in a world is stored in the waystones.dat file in the world folder, while the activations of each individual player are stored in the individual player's data. So when migrating between worlds it's important to copy over the player data as well.

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I can't find the individual player's data. (I want to migrate a 1.16.3 server to a 1.18.2 but if I do so I lose all the waystones)

There should be a playerdata folder in the world folder. However, migrating between major Minecraft versions may or may not work as the underlying data format may have changed between versions.
