I've started coding because of you, the thing you are doing is really amazing, it got me jobs at huge servers and I started working with youtubers, it so amazing what you did, it changed my life from downloading plugins from spigot to making my own plugin which is an amazing feeling, you keep doing what you do
I believe instead of creating a new NamespacedKey each time you call a persistent data method it would be better to just create the object once and use a static utility class (or whichever design pattern you prefer) to access it. Probably better runtime wise and readability wise.
Persistent Data Storage saved my life, I was like, no way am I going to have to write yml file reading, storing, and editing every time I make a plugin I want to store data in. Giving me PTSD back when I was messing around in code golf with my friends, a lot of js and text file manipulation happened.
Thank you for the tutorial. I am actually struggling a bit since I want to apply this PersistentDataContainer (In my case CraftPersistentDataContainer) to an *entity* again & I am not really sure how to do that. Current code: GuildVillager gv = new GuildVillager(placedloc, guildname);
CraftPersistentDataContainer data = gv.getBukkitEntity().getPersistentDataContainer(); data.set(new NamespacedKey(plugin, "special"), PersistentDataType.STRING, "guildvillager");
((CraftWorld) placedloc.getWorld()).getHandle().addEntity(gv); Any clues on how to add it to the entity again?
I think a database would be better since you can easily query data or when you remove the plugin you are able to wipe all the data. Those are the immediate improvements off the top of my head, but for small things I would use the persistant storage api, and other stuff use a DB.
@@KodySimpson Aight aight, and when you use a database would you query all the time or cache somewhere ? Also can Persistent Data Storage can share through different worlds ? Thansk :)
Would this be useful for checking to see how much of a certain item this player has in their inventory in order to use another item? I'm working on a game mode where Blacksmiths need at least 3 clocks in order to use their book.
is there a limit to the persistent data storage values? like for attribute max health the limit is 1024 was just wondering if there was a limit for this too
@@KodySimpson For all those who are wondering, this is how I solved the issue. I used the Gson library to convert the account class into a string. That string is saved in the player data. When the account needs to be accessed, the string is grabbed from the NBT and converted into an account class.
@@KodySimpson I've been breaking my head over this for a while now, where do you find the NBT for the block's data? like the block datatype does not simply have a getPersistentDataContainer()
@@KodySimpson So as for normal blocks who dont implement TiledState, there currently is no way to do this? or could we expect a future episode on this topic as I'm sure plenty of people looking for set info would end up here.
having a weird glitch that says "Cannot return a value from a method with void result type" in this code: public void onDisable() { public static Main getPlugin { return plugin; } } could anyone help?
Great video. I liked the part where you spoke about the Persistent Data Storage
Glad to hear it!
Wow, I also liked a lot this part!

1:18 is really missleading. Not every block stores NBT data. Only every Tile Entity.
BTW If anyone was wondering, PersistentDataContainer will keep all that data for an item through serialization/deserialization.
Great video! can you please make a video on making a StaffChat plugin?
Thanks for the idea!

Can we do that with block that are placed in the world ? Like a fence gate ?
It needs to be a block with a TiledState, I'll make a video on it.
@@KodySimpson Ok thanks a lot
@@KodySimpson And so that means that a door, fence gate, etc cant store persistent data ? :O
@@GaLzZy. Pretty much
Do you have any idea how efficient this is compared to working with files myself or even a database ? Thanks and great video :)

@@GaLzZy. You would probably want to cache if you need to grab information frequently. And idk, test that out. I would assume so

Hey can you make a tutorial about updating scoreboards?
is there a limit to the persistent data storage values? like for attribute max health the limit is 1024 was just wondering if there was a limit for this too
Good question! No idea but if you find out lemme know
@@KodySimpson i think it depends on the data type, if it's an integer then it's probably the integer limit
does this always update or needs to be updated like the config files?
I wish I would have known that earlier.
im a trash can
nice to meet you trash can
Would this be a good idea to store something like coins collected for a mini game?
Definitely
wouldnt u want to use a hashmap tho? i think persis data would be efficient to use on items idk tho
Can you store classes in the NBT data?
Yes, serialize them
@@KodySimpson That will save the data stored in the class right? I am making a bank plugin and I want each player to have a record of their items
@@henryreimer8310 yes

Is there a tutorial on this youtube channel to create NPCs?
Not at this time
@@KodySimpson Is planned ? thx
@@Culvanen Eventually
How can I do this for placed blocks ?
Same way as items pretty much
@@KodySimpson Are you sure about that ? I've read that blocks lose their data after they are placed ;/
@@KodySimpson I've been breaking my head over this for a while now, where do you find the NBT for the block's data?
like the block datatype does not simply have a getPersistentDataContainer()
@@dariobusia3128 Oh I just recalled, the block must implement TiledState. Only tiled blocks like chests, hoppers, etc

probably a really dumb question, bu is there a way to make items with different persistent data stackable?
nope
Did you look into this at all because it would be really helpful for what I'm trying to do?
@@jacobcox2006 idk what you're trying to do
@@graffity_x6624 make items distinguishable but stackable.
