Solved Best way of storing players?

I know this isn't technically a bug, but I was thinking of making a minigame plugin and I need help with something. I have gotten a lot of ideas about how to store players on teams, but I couldn't come to a conclusion so I'm using my last resort of asking the community. What should I use and how should I access this data from other classes?
So far I was thinking of HashMaps and ArrayLists but its a pretty tough choice.

Thanks in advance

 

I usually use my own class with a hashmap storing the key (uuid) and the value (your own class). That way you'll have the useful data in your own class (like kills, wins, deaths etc.)

HashMap, Getters and Setters.

 

Thanks! I started using HashMaps and it seems to be working really well!

 

You don't really need to use Setters for HashMaps as you can edit them via Getters.

No, what I meant was setters for specific things to do with the HashMap, e.g: You take two arguments, name, and age. The method will know what to do.
