# 💾 Data Storage

CodellaCells implements a robust data storage system to maintain cell information and player preferences.

#### Current Implementation

* **YAML Storage:** Data stored in human-readable YAML files
  * Cell data: Individual files in `/plugins/CodellaCells/cells/`
  * Player settings: Consolidated in `player_settings.yml`
* **Data Management:**
  * Automatic saving based on `storage.autosave-interval-minutes`
  * Force immediate save with `/cell forcesave`
  * Automatic backup system (coming in future updates)

#### Data Structure

* **Cell Data Files (`<owner-uuid>.yml`):**
  * Basic information (creation date, settings)
  * Member list with roles
  * Home points
  * Upgrade levels
  * Points and statistics
  * NPC data
* **Player Settings (`player_settings.yml`):**
  * Title notification preferences
  * Cell chat toggle state
  * UI preferences
