    Hi y'all.

    I am planning to make a plugin(Won't go in to detail) and I need to store the server informatin(Free Ram, World size, Online Players).
    Would it be a problem to store them as plain text publicily accessible via a URL link?
    The data will be nothing private. Just Server Runtime ram status, world size, CPU Usage, onlineplayers, just some Performance Monitor stuff.

    Server Admins can opt out from their data being saved as plain text if they want to.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers, sekjun9878, The Redstoneer.

    Oh okay. Thanks a lot. Also, is MySQL secure enough? I was planning on using MySQL to those who doesnt want their data stored as plain text.

    But I thought you couldn't access it without a proper ID and password?

    But wouldn't it be hard to get the ID and Password if they are secure enough?
    also is it okay to use base64 for encryption? as I said, they are not private information. just CPU and RAM stats

    base64 is not encryption, it is encoding...

    There is always a way to access data in a table, if you are skilled enough. But I dont think that will be a problem

    Oh okay, I am using base64 because I just need people to not recognise it unless they know what base64 is. Thanks for your answers.
