Caching/Queuing data save to yml.

Hello,

I am currently in the process of adding a custom leveling system to one of my plugins and there are some things I've never really touched before so I figured I should probably ask some questions before getting into it.

I will be storing players data such as their level, exp and class in a yml file.

Pulling/storing data is a pretty simple process, but since I need to store their exp in there I'm afraid that writing to the file everytime a player picks up exp would be a huge performance drainer.

If anyone has ideas on how I can write data to the file say every X minutes, help would be very appreciated.

You can schedule a task to run every few minutes, it's not that difficult with the BukkitScheduler

 

Oh, I think that should do the trick. Thank you.

I'll come back here if I need help with anything else.

@mythbusterma That was all I needed, thanks for showing me the way
