OpenEco

Appearance

Welcome to OpenEco ​

OpenEco is a single-server-first economy plugin for Paper and Folia. It keeps account balances in memory for fast local use, persists them through JDBC, and optionally coordinates account handoff when you run multiple backend servers behind a proxy against one shared remote database.

Why OpenEco? ​

Most economy plugins optimize for one of two extremes: a lightweight in-memory layer with minimal persistence, or a database-heavy design that trades latency for distribution. OpenEco targets the middle ground that fits most Paper servers:

  • Fast local reads and writes through an in-memory account registry.
  • Reliable persistence via SQLite, H2, MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL.
  • Optional proxy-assisted handoff when you need player transfers across backends — not real-time global replication.

If you need a distributed ledger or live balance broadcasts to every backend, OpenEco is not the right tool. See the Production guide for fit guidance.
