database.yml

PRO only. The free edition stores nothing and ignores this file. Stats and bounties are PRO features.

By default the PRO edition saves stats and bounties to flat files (stats.yml, bounties.yml). For a single server that’s all you need. Switch to a database when you run a network and want stats/bounties shared across servers.

File

plugins/dBloodMoney/database.yml:

enabled: false
type: MYSQL
host: localhost
port: 3306
database: minecraft
username: root
password: ''
pool:
  maximum-pool-size: 10
  connection-timeout-ms: 30000
properties:
  useSSL: 'false'
  characterEncoding: 'utf8'

Key	Description
enabled	false = flat files. true = use the database below.
type	MYSQL or POSTGRESQL. (No SQLite.)
host / port / database	Connection target.
username / password	Credentials.
pool	HikariCP connection pool tuning.
properties	Extra JDBC properties.

Enabling a database

1. Create an empty database (e.g. CREATE DATABASE minecraft;).
2. Set enabled: true and fill in host, database, username, password.
3. Restart the server.

On startup dBloodMoney creates its tables automatically:

Table	Holds
dbloodmoney_stats	Per-player kills, deaths, earnings, best streak.
dbloodmoney_bounties	Pooled bounty per target.

You should see:

[dBloodMoney] Connected to MYSQL database.

Switching back to flat files

Set enabled: false and restart. The plugin reads from stats.yml / bounties.yml again.

Migration between flat files and SQL is not automatic — pick your backend before going live, or copy data manually.
