Posted May 11, 20205 yr Hello! I'm actually doing a Sorting Hat like in Harry Potter, it puts you in a random house. I want to store his house as a string on the player object. What is the best way to do this?
May 11, 20205 yr Using capabilities would be the best way to do this. I'm eager to learn and am prone to mistakes. Don't hesitate to tell me how I can improve.
May 12, 20205 yr Author I would also like to store others things like money, quests in progress, unlocked hats, player rank, etc... Is it a good idea to use capabilities for all of that with a large player base? Wouldn't this get laggy?

Capability is normally a better option, you can even store all those values in a single capability.
May 12, 20205 yr Author Wouldn't it be better to make a plugin that handles this with Redis cache and a MariaDB database?

Unless your mod is meant for a server with a large amount (say more than 500) of players, using capabilities is far superior than using a database. At a scale of normal modded Minecraft (which is normally less than 100 players), storing data on disk and retrieving it is way less impactful than setting up an entire database. Moreover, capabilities allows cross-mod integration, which is often times important if you want to use other mods. Edited May 12, 20205 yr by DavidM Some tips: Spoiler Modder Support: Spoiler 1. Do not follow tutorials on YouTube, especially TechnoVision (previously called Loremaster) and HarryTalks, due to their promotion of bad practice and usage of outdated code. 2. Always post your code. 3. Never copy and paste code. You won't learn anything from doing that. 4. Quote Programming via Eclipse's hotfixes will get you nowhere 5. Learn to use your IDE, especially the debugger. 6. Quote The "picture that's worth 1000 words" only works if there's an obvious problem or a freehand red circle around it. Support & Bug Reports: Spoiler 1. Read the EAQ before asking for help. Remember to provide the appropriate log(s). 2. Versions below 1.11 are no longer supported due to their age. Update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.
