Accessing offline inventories

[octylFractal]

I don't know if this is planned in conjunction with the Inventory API, but I'd like a way to get the inventory of an offline player.

Use case: Sometimes I want to swap something from my inventory with another player's, but they are offline. With offline access, it could enable trading for offline players. This might be useful for web-based trading areas, which can offer a better UI than Minecraft for trading.

That would be useful, but Vanilla doesn't support it... With direct NBT editing this would be possible though.

Plans for this are in progress with #272. I haven't had a chance to finish the next commit, but it's in the works for possibly tomorrow or after the new year.

[octylFractal]

Not until next year? D:

I kid :P

[jacklin213]

@gabizou You added this in #272 already right?

[gabizou]

No I did not. There's no inventory API yet, all #272 adds is the infrastructure to support it.

This comes along with the inventory API.
