MC Data Bridge

MC Data Bridge is a high-performance hybrid plugin for PaperMC (and forks like Purpur), Folia, Spigot, Bukkit, BungeeCord (and forks like Waterfall), and Velocity. It seamlessly synchronizes player data across linked Minecraft servers with enterprise-grade distributed locks, single-transaction atomic persistence, and instant event-driven messaging.

Compatibility

  • Minecraft Version: 1.21.x and 26.2.x
  • Server Platforms: PaperMC, Purpur, Spigot, Bukkit, Folia
  • Proxy Platforms: BungeeCord, Waterfall, Velocity
  • Java Version: 25+

This plugin is a hybrid single-JAR build that operates across all supported server and proxy platforms.

Quick Start

  1. Deploy Plugin: Place the single mc-data-bridge-*.jar file into the plugins/ folder of each Minecraft server (Paper/Folia/Spigot) and your proxy (Velocity/Bungee).
  2. Configure Backend: Edit plugins/mc-data-bridge/config.yml on each backend server:
    • Set a unique server-id (e.g. server-id: "survival-1").
    • Configure MySQL or MariaDB credentials (Required for multi-server networks. Need help setting up a database? See DATABASE_SETUP.md).
    • Set security.seed to a secret random string.
  3. Restart Servers: Restart your proxy and backend servers. Data synchronization runs automatically.

Features

  • Comprehensive Cross-Server Data Synchronization: Synchronizes health, food level, saturation, exhaustion, experience, inventory, armor, potion effects, ender chests, advancements, recipes, vanilla statistics, persistent data container (PDC) metadata, flight and gamemode status, companion pets, cross-server maps, and separate gamemode inventory profiles.
  • Item Duplication Exploit Protection: Automatically closes open inventory views during server transfers and cancels container clicks, drags, item drops, pickups, and interactions while transfer locks are held.
  • Interactive Inventory & Ender Chest Inspector (invsee / endersee): Inspect offline or cross-server player inventories and ender chests in real time. Features safe view-only mode by default and interactive edit mode (--edit flag or Right-Click) for admins with automatic database persistence upon GUI close.
  • Hybrid Single-JAR Architecture: A single JAR file operates on your PaperMC, Folia, Spigot, BungeeCord, and Velocity servers, automatically executing the appropriate platform handlers.
  • Identity Modes & Authentication Auto-Migration: Toggle between strict PREMIUM UUID enforcement or flexible HYBRID identity shifts. Automatically migrates player data from offline to premium UUIDs upon verification by FastLogin (PreLogin) or AuthMe (Login, including AuthMe native TOTP/2FA).
  • Identity History & Security Tracking: Tracks last_known_name and a secure identity_hash (Keyed HMAC-SHA256) to detect identity hijacking, UUID collisions, and manual database tampering.
  • Distributed Lock Fencing Tokens (lock_version): Employs monotonic generation counters to fence off stale server writes, ensuring delayed servers (e.g., post-GC pauses or network hiccups) can never overwrite active player sessions.
  • Event-Driven Lock Release Messaging: Source servers dispatch an instant LockReleased signal upon saving player state, waking destination pre-login threads immediately and reducing server-switch lock wait latency to ~50ms (with automatic fallback to database polling).
  • Single-Transaction Atomic Persistence: Combines normalized component updates (inventories, statistics, metadata, companions, maps) and lock releases into a single database connection and transaction (setAutoCommit(false) ... commit()).
  • Normalized Data Integrity Checksums: Computes canonical SHA-256 integrity hashes across normalized player state components salted with security.seed to verify data integrity before loading.
  • Folia Multi-Threading Compatibility: Uses regionalized schedulers (GlobalRegionScheduler, EntityScheduler) to guarantee thread safety across Folia's regionalized threading model.
  • Prometheus Metrics Exporter: Built-in HTTP server exposing real-time synchronization performance metrics (sync latency, cache hit ratios, HikariCP pool status) for Grafana dashboards.
  • Granular Sync & Blacklist Control: Enable or disable synchronization for any specific data type or exclude specific servers and worlds via config.yml.
