Minecraft Jedis (Redis Driver)
by Axionize
Minecraft Jedis is a library that bundles the Jedis Redis client so other Minecraft mods and server plugins can talk to a Redis server without shipping their own copy.
What it does
The library wraps Jedis, the Java Redis client, in a form that loads on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt as well as on Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and Folia. Other mods and plugins that depend on it can use Redis commands directly, and the mod itself ships none of the Jedis runtime dependencies that it needs.
Jedis depends on commons-pool2 for its connection pool, and the library also brings gson for JSON serialization, json for parsing and slf4j-api for logging. The mod does not bundle its own copy of these four runtime libraries; they are placed on the server classpath where other plugins and mods can use them too. Redis 6 and later can authenticate with a user and password through ACL, and older servers with a password alone. TLS needs a JedisClientConfig wired into the basic JedisPool constructor.
The library is published 1.12.2 – 26.1.2 across 50 release versions, with the latest file for 26.1.2 built on 2026-06-06. Its version tracks Jedis one-to-one: the 5.2.0 build ships Jedis 5.2.0 together with current dependency versions. A daily auto-bump moves the dependency tree whenever Jedis releases, and the code is under the MIT License, with the Jedis contributors credited in the license text.
Key features
Wrapped Jedis client
Jedis 5.2.0, the most widely used Java Redis client, is repackaged for Bukkit-family plugins and Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mods.
Shared runtime dependencies
Commons-pool2, gson, json and slf4j-api are provided through the server classpath rather than copied into the mod.
Redis authentication
Redis 6 and later accept ACL authentication with a user and password, and older servers accept a password alone.
Relocated packages
Jedis classes are relocated under redis.clients.jedis for the loader stubs, while the canonical paths stay available.

How it compares
SQLite JDBC is open source under the Apache License 2.0 and runs on Fabric, Forge and Quilt for 1.12 – 1.20.4; it works on either side, and neither needs it. MySQL JDBC is open source under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only and covers the same loaders and versions, with installing it on one side being enough. Microsoft SQL JDBC is not open source, uses a custom license and is limited to Fabric and Forge.

What the author says
Jedis, the most widely used Java Redis client, repackaged as a Bukkit/Spigot/Paper plugin and a Fabric/Forge/NeoForge mod. The mod does nothing on its own — it ships Jedis (and its runtime dependencies) onto the server's classpath so other plugins/mods can use it without each bundling their own copy.
