Storage

You may elect to change your storage option through the storage-method setting of the Quests configuration file. The available choices are described below. If you should wish to change your storage method later without losing data, first use QuestsConverter.

YAML

This is the default selection which will save player data to separated .yml files under the /Quests/data folder. It is recommended for beginner and casual users as it works right "out of the box" with no additional setup required.

MySQL

This will save player data to a local or remote MySQL database that you have configured ahead of time. Table and login settings may be specified via the storage-data settings. An example of such configuration might look like:

storage-data:
  address: localhost
  database: minecraft
  username: root
  password: myComplexPassword
  table_prefix: quests_
  pool-settings:
    max-pool-size: 10
    min-idle: 10
    max-lifetime: 1800000
    connection-timeout: 5000

Note that HikariCP has been shaded internally to maximize connection speed on largely-populated servers.

Custom

A developer may opt to employ a custom storage option. See here.
