Minecraft Script that will remember all the items each person in the server has
I have a minecraft server, and need to backup all the items people have, I hope to do this by editing the .dat files in world/players. In this file, there are .dat files and their names are the usernames of each player. when I open it with Notepad++, it shows me gibberish like this:

![When Opened in NPP][1]

I heard the file is Gzipped. Is this why it is like this? How can I decode this so I can actually read it. I need to decrypt this from a PHP script.
