PAPIStore

PAPIStore

简体中文 ·
English

PAPIStore is a Bukkit server plugin that stores PlaceholderAPI data from online players in SQLite or MySQL. The stored data can be consumed by websites, Discord bots, dashboards, scripts, or other plugins.

Requirements

• Java 8+
• Spigot, Paper, Purpur, or CraftBukkit 1.8.8–26.3
• Folia, using the player entity scheduler and global region scheduler
• PlaceholderAPI

PlaceholderAPI 2.12.x requires Minecraft 1.13+. Servers running 1.8–1.12 must use an older PlaceholderAPI build compatible with that server version. The PlaceholderAPI build used on Folia must also support Folia.

Installation

1. Install PlaceholderAPI.
2. Place the PAPIStore JAR in the server's plugins/ directory.
3. Start the server.
4. Edit plugins/PAPIStore/fields.yml to configure the values that should be stored.
5. Restart the server. After the initial setup, use /papistore reload for supported changes.

SQLite is used by default. Its driver must be provided by the server as org.sqlite.JDBC; it is not bundled. MySQL Connector/J is bundled in the plugin JAR.

Commands

Command · Purpose · Permission
/papistore refresh · Refresh your own data · papistore.refresh
/papistore refresh · Refresh an online player's data · papistore.op
/papistore create · Create a field and write it to fields.yml · papistore.op
/papistore generate · Refresh one field for all online players · papistore.op
/papistore generate all · Refresh every field for all online players · papistore.op
/papistore query · Query a player's stored data · papistore.query
/papistore me · Query your own stored data · papistore.query.self
/mydata · Shortcut for /papistore me · papistore.query.self
/papistore help · Show administrator help · papistore.op
/papistore migrate [confirm] · Migrate between SQLite and MySQL · papistore.op
/papistore reload · Reload fields, languages, and player-query switches · papistore.op

/papistore reload does not reload the database connection, queue size, or scheduler settings. Restart the server after changing those values.

Tab completion supports subcommands, online player names, configured columns, all, and migration arguments.

Default permissions:

Permission · Default
papistore.refresh · All players
papistore.query.self · All players
papistore.op · OP
papistore.query · OP

/papistore me and /mydata can be enabled independently:

player-query:
enable-papistore-me: true
enable-mydata: true

fields.yml

fields.yml is the single source of truth for field mappings.

fields:
name:
placeholder: "%player_name%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "玩家名称"
en_us: "Player Name"

player_uuid:
placeholder: "%player_uuid%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "玩家UUID"
en_us: "Player UUID"

world:
placeholder: "%player_world%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "当前世界"
en_us: "Current World"

x:
placeholder: "%player_x%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "X坐标"
en_us: "X Coordinate"

y:
placeholder: "%player_y%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "Y坐标"
en_us: "Y Coordinate"

z:
placeholder: "%player_z%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "Z坐标"
en_us: "Z Coordinate"

ping:
placeholder: "%player_ping%"
display-name:
zh_cn: "延迟"
en_us: "Ping"

• placeholder is the PlaceholderAPI expression.
• The default variables above are resolved directly by PAPIStore and require no additional expansion.
• name.placeholder is reserved and fixed to %player_name%; other values are restored with a warning.
• display-name stores query labels by language.
• Label fallback order: player language → en_us → database column name.
• The generated defaults include player name, UUID, world, X/Y/Z coordinates, and ping.
• Existing fields are preserved; only missing presets are added.
• Third-party expansion placeholders require the matching installed expansion. Unresolved placeholders may be stored as their original text.
• Run /papistore reload after editing fields or display names.

Configuration

Auto-select the player's client language; fall back to English when unknown.

language: auto

storage:

SQLite uses the server-provided org.sqlite.JDBC driver; it is not bundled.

Storage type: sqlite or mysql. A server restart is required after changing it.

type: sqlite
sqlite:
file: "papi_store.db"
table: "papi_store"

mysql:
user: root
password: "PleaseInput"
address: 127.0.0.1
port: 3306
useSSL: false
database: "minecraft"
table: "papi_mysql"
allowPublicKeyRetrieval: true
connectTimeout: 5000
socketTimeout: 10000

settings:
refresh-cooldown-seconds: 10

Spigot/Paper batch size and the maximum concurrent Folia region tasks.

players-per-tick: 20

Maximum time spent rendering one Spigot/Paper PAPI batch.

render-time-budget-millis: 10

Maximum queued database tasks; new refreshes fail fast when full.

database-queue-capacity: 512

Maximum startup wait for database readiness; clamped to 5–60 seconds.

startup-timeout-seconds: 20

player-query:

Whether players can use /papistore me to query their own data.

enable-papistore-me: true

Whether to enable the /mydata shortcut for /papistore me.

enable-mydata: true

Changing the database connection, storage type, queue size, startup timeout, cooldown, or scheduler settings requires a server restart.

Data Migration

/papistore migrate sqlite mysql
/papistore migrate mysql sqlite

The source backend must be the currently active storage. If the target contains data, PAPIStore displays its row count and requires the administrator to confirm within 60 seconds:

/papistore migrate confirm

After confirmation, PAPIStore freezes new writes, waits for queued database tasks, and imports the source data in transactional batches. On success, the plugin remains read-only and updates storage.type. Restart the server immediately; writes resume on the target backend after the restart.

Languages

Supported languages:

en_us, zh_cn, zh_tw, ja_jp, ko_kr, de_de, fr_fr, es_es, ru_ru

language: auto follows each player's client locale. Console messages, unknown locales, and unsupported locale codes fall back to English. Language files are stored in plugins/PAPIStore/lang/; run /papistore reload after editing them.
