Minecraft plugin PlayerVaults

🔒 About PlayerVaults

PlayerVaults — is a plugin for Minecraft servers that provides per‑player personal vaults (virtual chests) with configurable/unlimited pages, asynchronous storage, and multi‑database backends. The plugin solves the problem of limited on‑hand storage by giving each player private vaults that persist between sessions, and it is intended for Spigot/Paper style servers where per‑player storage and permission control are needed.

🎯 Purpose

PlayerVaults is designed to add persistent, permission‑controlled personal storage to a Minecraft server without introducing extra world objects. PlayerVaults addresses storage limits and enables server owners to grant vault access via permissions or admin tools.

⚙ Main features

• Unlimited/configurable vault pages per player (permission controlled).
• Multiple storage backends: YAML, SQLite, MySQL (configurable).
• Asynchronous operations and memory‑efficient caching for minimal lag.
• Auto‑cleanup of empty vaults and backup tools.
• Admin commands to view, edit, migrate and manage player vaults.
• PlaceholderAPI integration for stats and placeholders.

(Features confirmed on the Spigot resource page.)

🧩 Who it fits

• Survival and RPG servers that need extra player storage.
• Servers that use permissions plugins (LuckPerms, PermissionsEx, etc.) to gate features.
• Admins who want remote admin access to player storage for support or moderation.

🏗 Usage examples

• Give new players access to vault 1 by default and sell/unlock further vaults via permissions/economy.
• Admin views a player vault to investigate item loss or recover items.
• Migrate vault contents from a banned account to another player using the provided admin commands.
