FAQ
What UUID formats does this Minecraft UUID checker accept?
It accepts standard dashed UUIDs (8-4-4-4-12) and 32-character hex UUIDs without dashes.
Is a Minecraft UUID always UUID v4?
Most modern Mojang player UUIDs are v4, but the tool reports the actual version nibble it finds.
Why do some plugins want a UUID without dashes?
Some configs store Mojang UUIDs as 32 hex characters; this tool outputs both dashed and no-dashes forms.
Can this tool convert a Minecraft username to a UUID?
No—this page does not call Mojang APIs, so it can’t resolve usernames. It only validates and reformats UUID strings you already have.
What does UUID variant mean and which one should Minecraft use?
Variant describes the UUID layout; typical Mojang UUIDs are RFC 4122 (10xx). Non-RFC variants may be rejected by some tools.
My UUID shows “uncommon version nibble” — is it invalid?
Not necessarily; it means the version digit isn’t 1–5. Some systems still treat it as a 128-bit identifier, but strict UUID validators may reject it.
Does this tool change my UUID content when normalizing?
No, it only removes/adding dashes and normalizes casing; the underlying 32 hex characters stay the same.
