MySQL / MariaDB

Point the plugin at an existing MySQL or MariaDB database:

Good for: larger servers and multi-server networks, especially if you need Cross-Server support or already run MySQL/MariaDB for other plugins. Handles many concurrent connections comfortably. Not a fit if: you just want something that works with zero setup, SQLite is simpler for that.

Docs: MySQL / MariaDB

yaml

database:
  type: mysql          # or: mariadb
  host: localhost
  port: 3306
  database: enhancedechest
  username: root
  password: "your-password"
  ssl: disable
  pool-size: 10

Create the empty database first, for example CREATE DATABASE enhancedechest;. The plugin creates and manages its own tables inside it automatically, but the database itself has to exist before it can connect.
Set ssl to require to encrypt the connection (fails if the server does not support TLS), or to verify-full to also verify the server certificate and hostname. See SSL / TLS.
