Is there a way to have multiple character's saves on the same map with only one account?
Is there a way to have more then 1 character saved on my map while using only one account?
I only have 1 account but there are 3 of us. We want to alternate playing, but with everyone playing on the same map and having their own stuff (position, inventory, ender chest, mod stuff, etc.).
This is just single player, no server and their will be no more then 1 player playing at a time.
the first answer do not work. I still got all my stuff. I did not start like a new guy and it just seems to reset my mod so now. I lost my progress :( good thing I was not fare lol

There are several files and folders that have to be copied:
- level.dat
- playerdata/
- stats/
If you want to create a user you copy those files to a safe location.
If you want to switch users you first have to copy these files to the specific directory and replace them with the files from the folder for the new player.

Can I have multiple characters on Minecraft?
Although you can create endless saved maps, you can play as only one character. If at all possible, buy a separate account for each player in your family. That way, everyone has their own identity.Can you have multiple characters Elden ring?
Players can have up to 10 different characters at a time. This allows for a generous amount of customization and creativity in build-making. But players may have to play through and seek out specific items on their own if they do not have a friend to trade them over.Can you have more than one character in Project zomboid?
You can only have one alive character at a time. I get that it would be cool to switch, but the philosophy of the game is rather "do what you can with what you have/are", and switching character depending of the needs (without loosing the previous one in case he can be useful later) doesn't fit with that philosophy.How important is it to have multiple characters?

You may be able to swap out the .dat file located in .\minecraft\world\players for each user. BACK UP YOUR WORLD before you attempt this. The basic solution would be to move your .dat file into a different location after you close the game and move in the other player's backed up file before they start. From the server's perspective the player would revert to a previous condition.

To set this up... Start a new world Player 1: Login and play Save and quit Rename the player .dat file to include your name Player 2: (same as player 1) Player 3: (same as above)
THEN to switch users...
Player 1: Rename your .dat file to the original name. Login and Play Save and Quit Rename the player .dat file to include your name ...
