Generate Minecraft OfflinePlayer UUID

playername_to_UUID.js

Hi, could you change this for me so that the player name is not from a cli, but from a const?

Do you want it to be a function to be called elsewhere ? @siraly1636

Yes, because I want to use it in an express on a website.

Here you go @siraly1636

Thank you so much. @ErnestoRB I have already successfully integrated it into my website.
