The player() function should be able to accept a UUID and return a player name. I believe it should be really easy to add with this: Bukkit.getPlayer(uuid).getName();

The reason this isn't getting traction is that player() already accepts UUIDs for online players, and getting a player name for an offline player is unreliable unless you query Mojang. This would make it entirely inappropriate for player(). Now, Bukkit has a method to get the last known name, I think, but this isn't guaranteed to be accurate and I think it expires after 30 days too. This is accessible in the usercache or player profile files if you want to grab it yourself.

by the way this would be for offline players too so it would be similar to puuid()

Not sure if player() is the appropriate function for this. It's always been used for online players and in places where only online players can be used. Not sure, though. There's also get_player_from_entity_id(), which needs to be updated anyway, or deprecated along with entity_id if we decide to use player() or something.

Btw @PhanaticD , that line of code only works on Online players.
