Minecraft MongoDB Driver
by Axionize
Minecraft MongoDB Driver is a library that bundles the MongoDB Java sync driver so other mods and plugins can connect to MongoDB databases from inside the game.
What it does
The library packages the official MongoDB Java sync driver, version 5.3.1, with its core wire-protocol code, connection pooling, server discovery and BSON document and codec support, including Java record support. Classes keep their canonical com.mongodb package names, so consumers can find them with a plain Class.forName call. Service files for BSON codecs are merged, so codec auto-discovery works in the packaged jar.
Connection strings carry authentication source, replica set members and read preference, so settings are usually placed in the URI. The library requires Java 8 or newer. It is released under the Apache License 2.0, and the full license text is included.
Key features
Official MongoDB sync driver
The MongoClient and MongoCollection API from the official MongoDB Java sync driver is included, ready for other mods to call.
Connection strings as the main configuration
Authentication source, replica set members and read preference are set in the connection string, which the driver reads on connect.
Relocated classes for plugins
Driver classes are relocated so a plugin's own classloader can see them, and they stay under their canonical package names.
Codec auto-discovery
Service files from the BSON codecs are merged during packaging, so Java record classes and other codecs are found without extra setup.

SQLite JDBC is a client or server optional library for Fabric, Forge and Quilt covering 1.12 – 1.20.4 under the Apache License 2.0, and it provides a SQL database driver rather than a MongoDB client.

The mod does nothing on its own. Other plugins/mods that want to talk to MongoDB pick this up via softdepend (or just by being on the same…
