• Multi-currency support: Optional, per-player, fully configurable
• Async caching: Optimized for large servers

• Granular permissions: Per-command and per-bank action

⚡ Commands

🛡️ Permissions

  • ezeconomy.bank.admin: All bank admin actions

🔒 Security Notes for Server Owners

• Limit admin permissions: Only grant ezeconomy.eco and ezeconomy.bank.admin to trusted staff.
• Use a permissions plugin: Manage access with groups/roles so players cannot self-assign economy powers.
• Lock down database access: Use a dedicated database user with minimal privileges and keep credentials private.
• Back up economy data: Schedule regular backups of your storage files or database to recover from mistakes or exploits.
• Review bank permissions: Consider limiting bank creation/withdraw permissions to prevent abuse on public servers.

🛡️ Dupe Prevention Safeguards

• Thread-safe balance updates: Economy operations are designed to avoid race conditions during concurrent deposits, withdrawals, and transfers.
• Server-side validation: Commands and transactions validate amounts to prevent invalid or malformed requests.
• Storage integrity: Backends use consistent write patterns to reduce the risk of partial or conflicting balance writes.

• PlaceholderAPI support:
  • Use placeholders in chat, scoreboard, and other plugins:
    • %ezeconomy_balance% – Your balance
    • %ezeconomy_balance_<currency>% – Your balance in a specific currency (e.g., %ezeconomy_balance_euro%)
    • %ezeconomy_bank_<bank>% – Balance of a specific bank
    • %ezeconomy_top_1% – Top 1 player balance (replace 1 with rank)
    • %ezeconomy_currency% – Your preferred currency
  • Works with all PlaceholderAPI-compatible plugins

🛠️ Developer: Custom Storage Providers

EzEconomy supports custom storage backends (YML, MySQL, SQLite, MongoDB, or your own). You can implement your own provider for any database or storage system.

How to add a custom provider:

1. Implement the StorageProvider interface in your plugin or module.
2. Register your provider before EzEconomy loads:

   EzEconomy.registerStorageProvider(new YourProvider(...));
   

3. Only one provider can be registered. If set, EzEconomy will use it instead of YML/MySQL.
4. See the JavaDoc in StorageProvider.java for required methods.

This allows you to use SQLite, MongoDB, Redis, or any other system for player balances and banks.
