Can I just store a player in persistant data?
Or if not, is there any data of the player that I can stored(maybe username or uuid) and get the player from easily later?

The XY problem is when you really want to do X, and you think that Y can achieve X. However, you can't get Y to work, and so ask for help exclusively about Y.
This can lead to a lot of confusion from the people trying to help you, as Y can seem like a very random thing to want to do, and a lot of the time isn't the best way to achieve X anyway.
Its fine to ask about Y, just always include some context about X so you can be put on the right track if Y won't do X well, or there is an easier way to do X.

Still working on my projectile system, and when a projectile hits an enemy, I want to read and change stuff in the player persistant data, so I need the player object
For that I want to store the player in the projectile, which is stored in the server persistant data
tiny harness
just store the uuid
there is probably also a lifespan id you can use which resets on object creation

How can I get the player from the uuid?
tiny harness
levels are entity getters, you can get a list of players there and check
server does have a list too, but I don't now the method exactly
loud aspen
So, in the end I'll have to loop over every player and test if their uuid is the one stored in the projectile?
Because thats what I thought of myself, but I hoped there was a more performant option
tiny harness
yes. At least I dont remember a method to directly grab the player by uuid

Ok, thanks

@Nullable
default Player getPlayerByUUID(UUID uUID) {
for(int i = 0; i < this.players().size(); ++i) {
Player player = (Player)this.players().get(i);
if (uUID.equals(player.getUUID())) {
return player;
}
}
return null;
}
in server level. But it just does a loop too
loud aspen
Funfact, probe shows this option
e.level.getPlayerByUUID()
tiny harness
Ok, thanks
server.getPlayerList().getPlayer(uuid) seems to exist
^ thats a direct map access instead of list iteration
