Custom Server Data
by Hdi
Custom Server Data is a Fabric and Quilt library for server owners and mod developers who need persistent global data on the server.
What it does
The library lets a server mod store structured data that survives restarts. Each value is declared in a schema with a type, a default, constraints and nullability, and is read and written at runtime through a static API. Each value is written to human-readable JSON files in the world save folder. The mod runs on the server only, so players join without installing it. Files are published for Fabric and Quilt, both for 1.20.6, and the latest build is 1.0.3 from 2026-04-06.
Key features
Schema-defined values
Each stored variable has a declared type, default value, constraints and nullability, checked by the schema system.
Custom object storage
Developers store their own objects by implementing IJsonSerializable, so the data can take any structure they need.
Readable JSON storage
Data lands in human-readable JSON files in the world save directory, so it can be inspected and edited by hand.
