NetworkStorage

A Minecraft plugin that allows players to create a centralized storage network.

Features

• Create a network of chests to store your items.
• Access all your items from a single terminal.
• Trust other players to access your network.
• Track player deposits and withdrawals
• Wireless access to your network with a wireless terminal.
• Configurable Network Modes: Choose between individual player networks or a single, server-wide global network.
• Optional Trust System: Make networks publicly accessible, perfect for cooperative servers.

Commands

• /storage wand: Get the storage wand.
• /storage info: View your network information.
• /storage trust <player>: Trust a player to your network.
• /storage untrust <player>: Untrust a player from your network.
• /storage wireless: Get a wireless terminal.

How to Use

1. Use /storage wand to get a storage wand.
2. Right-click with the wand to create a new network.
3. Left-click on chests with the wand to add them to your network.
4. Place a terminal to access all your items in one place.

Important Notes

Network Modes (network-mode)

In the config.yml, you can choose between two modes:

• PLAYER (Default): Each player has their own private network. This is the classic behavior.
• GLOBAL: There is only one, single, massive network for the entire server. All players share this one network. Commands like /storage trust or /network are disabled in this mode.

Trust System (enable-trust-system)

This option is only relevant in PLAYER mode:

• true (Default): Only the owner and players they have added via /storage trust can use a network.
• false: The trust system is completely disabled. Every player can use every network. Ideal for small, private servers where everyone works together.

Trust grants usage access through terminals, wireless terminals, and protected containers. It does not grant management access: only the owner or an admin can add, remove, break, rename, or delete network components. Physical storage chests remain normal Minecraft chests when protect-network-containers is disabled, so use your server's land-claim or block-protection plugin if needed.

Wireless Terminal Durability

wireless-terminal-durability controls how many networks a newly issued wireless terminal can open. Set wireless-terminal-break-on-zero: true to remove the terminal after its final use. The first click at the final use warns without opening; a second click opens the final session, and the terminal is removed when that session closes, including after a search. The default is false.

Safety Compatibility

• Storage wands and wireless terminals must be created by this plugin. Items that only match the display name are rejected intentionally, because renamed legacy items cannot be distinguished from forged items.
• New network names are limited to 1-32 characters: letters, numbers, spaces, underscores, hyphens, and apostrophes.

SQLite storage and migration

NetworkStorage uses SQLite as its only runtime storage backend. On the first startup after upgrading, existing networks.yml and player-state.yml files are strictly validated and imported into a temporary database. The database is integrity-checked and atomically promoted before listeners or gameplay tasks start. The YAML files are retained as timestamped .pre-sqlite-* recovery copies and then archived as .migrated-*; a failed migration leaves the original files, a recoverable temporary database, and migration.lock, and the plugin stays disabled until the failure is inspected.

SQLite is configured for WAL mode, full synchronous durability, foreign-key enforcement, and a 5-second busy timeout. Keep networks.db and its backups on local storage; do not put the plugin data directory on NFS, SMB, or another network filesystem because SQLite WAL requires local shared-memory semantics.

The plugin creates three verified point-in-time SQLite backups by default (storage.backup-interval-hours). Backups use SQLite's online backup command and are checked before older copies are rotated. Before the first production rollout, stop the server and retain a complete copy of the plugin data directory.

Language and Item Search

• Display: The names of items in the terminal are always displayed in the language you have set in your Minecraft client (e.g., German, French, etc.).
• Search: The search function works with the internal, English material names (e.g., diamond, stone, iron_ingot) or with custom names you have given an item using an anvil. This means you must search in English, even if the items are displayed in your own language.
