StormEconomy

StormEconomy

StormEconomy is a native economy plugin for Paper servers. It provides player balances, payments, shared bank accounts, transaction history, admin controls, secure storage, and configurable rewards from other Thunder plugins.

It is not a Vault shim or a wrapper around another economy system. StormEconomy runs its own economy and exposes StormEconomyApi for plugins that want direct integration.

Features

• Player balances with configurable currency name, symbol, decimal places, and starting balance.
• /money balance checks for self and, with permission, other players.
• /pay player-to-player transfers.
• /baltop richest-account leaderboard.
• Shared bank accounts with owners, members, deposits, withdrawals, transfers, and deletion.
• Configurable bank name pattern.
• Optional negative balance support for player accounts and bank accounts.
• Account freeze and unfreeze admin controls.
• Admin give, take, set, and reset tools.
• Transaction history for payments, admin actions, banks, and rewards.
• Audit, storage, history, top, backup, save, and reload commands.
• Configurable maximum transaction history size.
• Optional backup before destructive account actions.
• Emits Bukkit events for balance and bank changes.
• Registers StormEconomyApi through Bukkit services.

Integrations

• ThunderPerms: uses ThunderPerms for permission checks when available, with Bukkit permissions as fallback.
• StormMMO: can reward players for level-ups and optional XP gain.
• Lifesaver: can reward protection events and larger save events.
• Teamwork: can reward cooperation events and optionally reward trusted teammates.
• Alignments: can reward players when their alignment changes to a new milestone.
• BlockLedger, NPCs, and Bodyguard are soft-detected so StormEconomy can run cleanly alongside them.

StormEconomy also registers StormEconomyApi and StormEconomyPermissionBridge.

Developer events:

• StormEconomyBalanceChangeEvent
• StormEconomyBankChangeEvent
• StormEconomyRewardEvent

Other plugins can query balances, transfer funds, charge accounts, manage banks, inspect history, and check storage health.

Storage and Security

StormEconomy supports YAML, SQLite, MySQL, and MariaDB. SQLite is the default storage backend.

Security-focused storage behaviour includes:

• Secure MySQL and MariaDB JDBC examples using certificate or hostname verification.
• JDBC credential redaction in diagnostics and storage status.
• Credential-like JDBC query parameters stripped before database connections are opened.
• Prepared SQL statements for stored economy data.
• Autosave with manual /stormeconomy save.
• Local backups with /stormeconomy backup.
• Optional backup before destructive account actions.
• Storage health reporting through commands and API.
• Transaction history stored separately from account state for auditing.

Use /stormeconomy storage or /stormeconomy status to verify the active backend. Use /stormeconomy backup before major admin changes or data migration.

Notes

StormEconomy does not require Vault, PlaceholderAPI, WorldGuard, or any external economy plugin. It is designed as a native economy service for servers and other Thunder plugins that want direct, auditable economy operations.
