SQLite JDBC Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Do I need to install this mod if I'm just playing single player?
Only if another mod you're using requires it as a dependency. SQLite JDBC is primarily a shared library for mods like Dynmap that need database storage, so check your mod list to see if anything depends on it.
What's the difference between this mod and just using SQLite normally?
This mod packages the official SQLite JDBC driver so mods can access it without you having to install Java libraries separately. It handles the compatibility layer across Forge, Fabric, and Spigot automatically.
Can I use this mod on a multiplayer server?
Yes, it works on multiplayer servers across all three mod loaders. Install it on your server, and any mods that depend on it will be able to access the shared database.
Will this mod slow down my server?
SQLite JDBC itself has minimal performance impact since it's just a driver library. Performance depends on how intensively dependent mods query the database—check those mods' documentation for optimization tips.
What happens if two mods try to access the same database file at the same time?
SQLite handles concurrent access, but multiple mods writing simultaneously can cause conflicts. Configure each mod to use its own database file, or consult the dependent mod's documentation for shared database setup.
Do I need to create a database file before the mod runs?
No, dependent mods will create their database files automatically on first run. You only need to manually create one if you're setting up a custom database configuration.
Is my database data safe if the server crashes?
SQLite writes data to disk, so most data is preserved, but data in active transactions may be lost. Regular backups are recommended, especially before major updates or server maintenance.
Can I move my database file to a different location?
Yes, but you'll need to update the database path in the dependent mod's configuration file. Refer to that mod's setup guide for the correct configuration option.
Does this mod work with older Minecraft versions?
Yes, it supports versions from 1.12.2 onwards across all current releases. Check the mod's compatibility list to confirm your specific version is supported.
What should I do if a mod says it can't find the SQLite driver?
Make sure the mod is installed in the correct folder for your loader (mods folder for Forge/Fabric, plugins folder for Spigot), and restart the server completely. If the problem persists, check that no other mod is conflicting with the driver.
