SQLite

SQLite is good database type for storing data on a local singe server. For single server is this database very fast.

This storage is only for single spigot server supported.

storage:
  type: SQLITE
  folder: plugins\DKBans\data\
  host: localhost
  port: '3306'
  user: root
  ssl: false
  password: password
  database: DKBans
  mongodb:
    authentication: false
    authdb: admin
    srv: false

Json

A Json storage makes only sense, if you have no other possibilities. We recommend to use SQLIte for single servers.

This storage is only for single spigot server supported.

storage:
  type: JSON
  folder: plugins\DKBans\data\
  host: localhost
  port: '3306'
  user: root
  ssl: false
  password: password
  database: DKBans
  mongodb:
    authentication: false
    authdb: admin
    srv: false

MySQL/MariaDB

MySQL or MariaDB is a very good database for normal networks or single server.

storage:
  type: MYSQL
  folder: plugins\DKBans\data\
  host: localhost
  port: '3306'
  user: root
  ssl: false
  password: password
  database: DKBans
  mongodb:
    authentication: false
    authdb: admin
    srv: false

MongoDB

MongoDB is a good storage, if you have a big network or many player data. MongoDB can be a complicated database.

storage:
  type: MONGODB
  folder: plugins\DKBans\data\
  host: localhost
  port: '27017'
  user: admin
  ssl: false
  password: password
  database: DKBans
  mongodb:
