MC-193198 does not look like a duplicate of this bug, because this one does not affect level.dat.
Reopen ticket?
I recently had this happen twice on version 1.12.2 on OsX. Without deleting any folders or otherwise touching any game files or directories. The incidents happened on 5.12.2017 and 11.12.2017.
I had opened a game to LAN and my daughter joined in. She was also on OsX.
On both occasions the game created a fresh clean empty data file for my daughter's player data. I was able to restore her inventory by moving the old data file to the new file name.
On the first occasion the game switched from using the player data file name 109a6a9c<censored>.dat to using 3778d074<censored>.dat
On the second occasion the game switched back to the original file name!
I do not know if we had a duplicate or ghost player generate in the LAN world or not.
But I can tell that if there is an intermittent internet connection problem, that is not how the game should handle it.
