Changing Storage Type (Optimization)

What is this chapter about?

In this chapter I'll help you optimize Dynmap. The default configuration is not the best, it can be improved and that's what we are doing.

Changing Storage Provider

By default the storage type is set to filetree (As shown by the following image).

The configuration is located at plugins/dynmap/configuration.txt.

MySQL

~~Preferrably you would want to set the storage type to~~ MySQL

~~Change~~ type ~~to mysql (case non-sensitive)~~

~~Change the other highlighted values to the ones generated.~~ ~~Refer to this guide~~.

~~Now save the file and restart the server to have the new storage type applied.~~

SQLite

~~I personally~~We would suggest you to switch over to SQLite if you were using the default filetree storage. ~~If you are already using MySQL, you may want to keep using that.~~

Change type to sqlite (case non-sensitive)
Make sure type and dbfile are the only enabled settings (to comment lines out, put a # in front of the line.
dbfile allows you to customize the database's name. Doesn't have any performance impact. The file's extension must be .db.
When using Fabric/Forge you'll need to make use of Kosmolot's SQLite mod.

MySQL

Another option is MySQL we don't really suggest you to use this for DynMap due to network latency and other external factors

Change type to mysql (case non-sensitive)

Change the other highlighted values to the ones generated. Refer to this guide.

Now save the file and restart the server to have the new storage type applied.
