MySQL JDBC Driver

by stewi1014

MySQL JDBC Driver is a library that lets other Fabric and NeoForge mods connect to MySQL databases through jdbc:mysql URLs.

FabricNeoForgeClient or server, optionalGNU General Public License v2.0 onlyOpen source1.18 – 1.21.4

What it does

Mods that use JDBC can open connections to a MySQL server by way of jdbc:mysql URLs once this driver is installed next to them. The mod itself provides no blocks, items or gameplay of its own. It works on either side, and neither the client nor the server needs it unless a dependent mod does. It is released under the GNU General Public License v2.0 only and is open source.

Key features

  1. Packaged JDBC driver

    The MySQL JDBC driver is bundled into a single mod file, so dependent mods do not need to ship their own copy.

  2. MySQL connection URLs

    Mods that use JDBC can reach a MySQL database through standard jdbc:mysql connection strings.

  3. One file for both loaders

    The same file runs on Fabric and NeoForge across game versions 1.18 – 1.21.4, with 9.1.0 as the latest build.

Questions

Does MySQL JDBC Driver need to be installed on servers?

It works on either side, and a server does not need it unless a dependent mod does. Installing it on the server is enough for mods running there.

What the author says

This is the MySQL JDBC Driver packaged in a fabric and neoforge mod for convinience. Mods utilising JDBC will be able to connect to jdbc:mysql:// URLS. The same file works for fabric and neoforge, and should not care what version.
