PersistentDataAPI

PersistentDataAPI is a more accessible way to approach the quite new, and powerfull storage that mojang provided to minecraft servers since 1.14. This API will perform faster, and better when storing information on players, items, and even blocks.

What's persistent data?

Persistent data is a new way to store data inside a player/item/block. The data is persistent, which means it's permenant. The data will change only when it's asked to perform a change. The data will be stored even after the plugin (that wrote the data) is removed from the server.

That's cool! But how do I use it?

To use it you'll have to add the repository and dependency to your pom.xml

Currently, the api will use Jitpack, as the host of the repo, so:

Repository:

<repository>
    <id>jitpack.io</id>
    <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
</repository>

Dependency:

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.github.Evyaaa</groupId>
   <artifactId>PersistentDataAPI</artifactId>
   <version>2.0.2</version>
</dependency>

Usage

Initialize the api:

Write this method in the onEnable() method, in main class

PersistentDataAPI api = new PersistentDataAPI(this);

You have to register this method in the main class, as it requires a JavaPlugin instance;

Once you've initalized the api, you can freely work with it, to match your needs.
