UUID Command
UUID Command gives players and server owners a /uuid command that shows the UUID of nearby entities and copies it as text or NBT.
What it does
Running the command lists the UUID of each entity loaded within reach, and the value can be copied as a string or in NBT data form. Entity UUIDs are used by data packs, command blocks and server tools, so a quick way to read them saves digging through save files.
Players who have the mod installed can use the command in single-player and multiplayer, even without operator permissions. On a server that runs the mod, operators can use it too, and clients without the mod can still be given access through the server side. In multiplayer, the command only reports entities within the render distance of the player who runs it. UUID Command requires Fabric API on Fabric. It is published for Fabric and NeoForge across 16 release versions, 1.20.4 – 26.2, and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

How it compares
Dynamic In-Game NBT Editor is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20 – 1.21.10, so it edits NBT data rather than listing UUIDs. UUID Off is server-side only, not open source, released under All rights reserved and limited to Fabric builds for 1.20.2 – 1.20.4. Online UUID Fix is server-side only and open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, with a single file for 1.21.11.
