Description

Sometimes PlayerDB is down and replies with 500. Would be nice to auto fallback to Mojang's.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests, so start by locating the PlayerDB lookup entry point and reviewing how failed responses are handled. Done means a PlayerDB outage automatically falls back to Mojang's player API without disrupting normal lookups, with coverage for the fallback path.
