Warning: This information is intended for advanced users. Proceed with caution!

As of Quests 4.0.0-rc.3, you may elect to change your storage option through the storage-method setting of the Quests configuration file. The available choices are described below.

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.
