Features
NextCredits is the ultimate lightweight credits plugin for your Minecraft server. It gives you a second currency that lives completely outside of your economy plugin, a fully configurable shop system to spend it in, and it was designed from the ground up for networks: MySQL as the single source of truth, optional Redis for instant updates, and every credit change written to a transaction log.
| Features | Description |
|---|---|
| Unlimited Shops | Create as many shop menus as you want, each one in its own file. |
| Unlimited Products | Define products in separate files and reuse them across multiple shops. |
| Shop Discounts | Run timed discount campaigns on a single product, a whole category, or the entire shop. |
| Multi-Server Sync | Keep balances consistent across your whole network with MySQL, plus optional Redis for instant updates. No proxy plugin needed. |
| Transaction Logs | Every give, take, set, pay and purchase is recorded in the database. |
| Safe Transactions | Credits are debited before rewards are given, so a failed purchase never hands out free products. |
| Confirmation Menu | Optional confirmation screen before a purchase goes through. |
| Discord Webhooks | Send give, take, set and purchase notifications straight into a Discord channel. |
| Player-to-Player Pay | Let your players transfer credits to each other with /nextcredits pay. |
| Data Converter | Migrate from RivalCredits, or move between SQLite and MySQL with a single command. |
| PlaceholderAPI Support | Show credit balances anywhere, in multiple formats. |
| Custom Commands | Rename the main and shop commands and their aliases to whatever fits your server. |

Cross-server synchronization
If you run a network and want every server to share the same balances, you'll need MySQL. Open config.yml and
enable both mysql and sync-cross-server.
mysql:
enabled: true
host: localhost
port: 3306
database: db_nextcredits
user: root
password: ''
useSSL: false
# Cross-server synchronization
# Required MySQL to use this
sync-cross-server: true
# The interval to refresh online cached users from MySQL (in seconds)
sync-interval: 30
# Maximum users to include in a single sync query
sync-batch-size: 100| Option | Description |
|---|---|
save-interval | How often cached balances are written to the database, in seconds. 0 saves immediately but is not recommended. |
sync-cross-server | Periodically reload online players' balances from the database. |
sync-interval | How often that refresh happens, in seconds. |
sync-batch-size | How many users are pulled per sync query. |
Instant updates with Redis
The periodic sync above is enough for most networks, but if you want balance changes to show up on the other servers right away, you can enable Redis. MySQL always stays the source of truth, Redis is only used as a fast "this player's balance changed" signal: the server that changed a balance publishes the player's UUID, and every other server reloads that one player from the database.
redis:
enabled: true
host: localhost
port: 6379
password: ''
database: 0
ssl: false
timeout: 2000
channel: "nextcredits:sync"| Option | Description |
|---|---|
channel | The Redis pub/sub channel used for the invalidation signal. Keep it identical on every server. |
timeout | Connection and socket timeout, in milliseconds |
password | Leave empty if your Redis instance has no password |
mysql.enabled is false, NextCredits logs a warning and
Redis sync never starts. A wrong password stops the sync as well, so check your console after enabling it.Information
No proxy plugin is needed. NextCredits synchronizes purely through MySQL, with Redis as the optional instant-update layer, so you never have to install anything on your BungeeCord or Velocity proxy.
