Would it be possible to add a feature that allows you to teleport offline players to you or to X Y Z coordinates?

Reason for this is that on heavily modded servers sometimes the server can crash when there's a problem with a chunk. This can be caused by various mods and is usually solved over time with mod updates. However various mods are known to have caused this problem and the only solution so far has been to delete the affected player's player.dat file. This of course means that player has lost everything in his inventory which is a really sad state of affairs. The real issue here is that while most mods solve the crashes they cause, but new ones come to take their place so to speak.

You can probably teleport offline players several ways. One way would be to edit the coordinates inside a player.dat file. There's an inactive plugin that had this function called VanillaExtract:

That plugin's author has made a class to allow for methods for editing almost every detail of an offline player.

Thank you for reading all of this and for your consideration.

This is a good idea. Will probably add it when I get time, but that should be soon.

I'v made a plugin for it: http://dev.bukkit.org/bukkit-plugins/freds-offline-tp/ It still needs approval so it will probably take few hours or so if you want to download it.
