MySQL

MySQL stores island data in a shared database. Use it when you run multiple backend servers behind a proxy, or simply want centralized, externally-backed storage. It's required for the cross-server proxy layer.

Configuration

storage:
  type: mysql
  mysql:
    host: localhost
    port: 3306
    database: skyblock
    username: root
    password: ""
    ssl: false

The plugin creates and migrates its tables automatically on first connect.

Setup Steps

1. Create a database:

   CREATE DATABASE skyblock;
   

2. Set storage.type: mysql and fill in the mysql: block.
3. Restart the server. Watch the console for a successful connection.

Using It Across a Network

For multiple backends, every server must point at the same MySQL database with identical host/database. Combined with Redis, this is what powers the proxy layer.

UPDATE islands SET server = 'skyblock-1' WHERE server IS NULL;

See Cross-Server Setup for the full network guide.
