MySQLDriver
MySQL Driver for Sponge servers.
This plugin does nothing by itself. Developers of other plugins can specify this plugin as an optional dependency in sponge_plugins.json.
Example:
"dependencies": [
{
"id": "mysqldriver",
"version": "1.0.0",
"load-order": "after",
"optional": true
},
{
"id": "spongeapi",
"version": "8.0.0",
"load-order": "after",
"optional": false
}
]
The plugin contains a driver to connect to MySQL databases. It is initialized automatically when you start the server.
Hopefully in the future plugin developers will not need to add a driver to their plugins, as this can create a bunch of the same drivers.
