Player Search
Minecraft Player Search
Find any player by username — partial matches included
How indexed player search works
Search cached Java and Bedrock players by username prefix. Results keep UUID and XUID identities separate, highlight the matching name, and link directly to the complete player profile.

Open a known Java profile to see identifiers, textures, capes and available history before searching the wider index.
Player Search — FAQ
How does the Minecraft player search work?
Type at least 2 characters from the start of a Minecraft username. The search checks our database of 51M+ cached profiles using an indexed prefix match, then shows the matching names immediately.
Can I search for part of a username?
The public search uses prefix matching for predictable speed. Enter the beginning of the username, such as "Notch" for "Notch123". Broad contains searches are disabled because they require an expensive scan without a dedicated substring index.
Does this work for Bedrock / Xbox players?
Yes. The search covers both Java Edition and Bedrock Edition profiles. Results show a badge indicating the edition. Click any result to view the full profile with UUID, XUID, skin, cape, and name history.
Is there a search API I can use?
Yes. Use GET /minecraft-api?suggest={query}&limit=25 to get indexed prefix matches as JSON. Responses are cached for 5 minutes. See API docs for full details.
How many results does the search return?
The dedicated search page shows up to 25 matching players at once. The autocomplete on the main lookup page shows up to 10. You can request up to 50 via the API using the limit parameter.
What information can I see for each player?
Click any search result to view the full profile: UUID (Java), XUID (Bedrock), Floodgate UUID, current skin with 3D viewer, cape, name history with dates, and links to download the skin or view it on NameMC.
Why can't I find a specific player?
The search only checks cached profiles. If a player hasn't been looked up before, they may not appear in search results. Try entering their exact username and pressing Enter to look them up directly — this will add them to the cache for future searches.
Is the search case-sensitive?
No. Minecraft usernames are case-insensitive, and so is this search. Typing "notch", "Notch", or "NOTCH" all return the same results.
