My stuff disappears when I log off multiplayer mode in Minecraft

My wife and I are playing Minecraft over Lan, and whenever she logs off, we lose everything in her inventory. Why does this happen and how can we stop it?

Solution 1:

The person who opens to LAN must quit the game gracefully. That is, they first need to return to the main menu before closing the game. Abruptly quitting the game with the X button makes the game unable to save the world and player data.

Solution 2:

I had this problem tonight too. My wife logged onto a LAN game I was hosting, but instead of having all her gear, she had nothing.

So I opened the game appdata file for the world and looked at the player data. It showed three files:

• One hadn't been played in 24 hours (Which I assume was hers)
• One had logged off 5 minutes ago (Which I assume was the bad file)
• One had just logged off (Which I assume is mine)

To fix it, I moved the 24hrs file to my desktop, renamed it to the same name as the 5 minute file, then deleted the the 5 minute old file. Finally I moved the 24hr file back into the folder.

I loaded up my world, set it to be LAN accessible, and had the wife log on. Poof, she had her stuff back.

Solution 3:

If the Minecraft LAN is hosting on you, She needs to go to main menu then quit the game. If the Minecraft LAN is hosting on your wife, and she wants to exit, You need to go to main menu, and then she go to the main menu. Then its saved! Now you can Exit!

To clarify what I am saying: If you are the one who did "Open to LAN", she needs to quit first, if she did "Open to LAN", you need to quit first.
