So recently I went to a different computer to use as the same server and all worked but now due to problems I’m going back to my previous one but it still has an old library (Easy fix) but anything I’m watched or marked since moving isn’t changed. Does anyone know where the library data is stored on Mac? Please don’t link to pages like this (https://support.plex.tv/articles/201539237-backing-up-plex-media-server-data/?_ga=2.221776920.1240832417.1578520581-1665148491.1578520581) as this does not work, maybe cause it’s older.
Tag your post with MAC OS or whatever it is for Mac’s, it will get more exposure to the right people

Well… the support article you digged up is showing where Plex’ preferences are stored (preferences.xml).
The Plex data folder is described here:
for macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/
Edit: fixed wrong autocorrect

Thanks, I finally found/figured it out.
For other that may look in the future its under you HardDrive /Users/(Your User)/Library(It’s a Hidden folder (Press Command+Shift+. to reveal)) then /Application Support/Plex Media Server
That’s what the ~ stands for.
You can also use the Finder menu and select Go To Folder… there you can enter the full path without the need to Unholde any hidden folders
