# Configuration

The configuration file for command aliases can be found at `.minecraft/config/command-aliases-config.json`. The autogenerated configuration file should appear as follows:

```json5
{
  "database_settings": {
    "database_mode": "LEVELDB",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3306,
    "database": "command_aliases",
    "user": "root",
    "password": ""
  },
  "debug_settings": {
    "debug_mode": false,
    "show_processing_time": false,
    "broadcast_to_ops": false
  }
}
```

## Database settings

You may be curious as to why a mod like Command Aliases would need or use a database at all. This feature was added to allow alias creators to create more complex commands by allowing them to store values, as there is not a proper way to do so using the vanilla system without causing significant performance penalties at a large scale.

### Supported databases

| Database mode | Description                                                             | Requirements                         |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| `IN_MEMORY`   | Stores values in memory only. Data is lost when the game/server closes. | None                                 |
| `LEVELDB`     | Stores values locally in the game or world folder.                      | None                                 |
| `MYSQL`       | An implementation of MySQL.                                             | Host, Port, Database, User, Password |
| `REDIS`       | An implementation of Redis.                                             | Host, Port, User, Password           |

### Database configuration examples

* In-Memory Database

```json5
{
  "database_settings": {
    "database_mode": "IN_MEMORY"
  }
}
```

* LevelDB

```json5
{
  "database_settings": {
    "database_mode": "LEVELDB"
  }
}
```

* MySQL

```json5
{
  "database_settings": {
    "database_mode": "MYSQL",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 3306,
    "database": "command_aliases",
    "user": "root",
    "password": ""
  }
}
```

* Redis

```json5
{
  "database_settings": {
    "database_mode": "REDIS",
    "host": "localhost",
    "port": 6379,
    "user": "default",
    "password": ""
  }
}
```

## Debug settings

This section is primarily used to debug the creation of more complex command aliases.

```json5
{
  "debug_settings": {
    "debug_mode": true, // Displays errors when creating new custom commands
    "show_processing_time": true, // Shows the amount of time it takes to process each command and execute them
    "broadcast_to_ops": true // Whether commands will be broadcasted to operators
  }
}
```
