KOKOTO WebChat 5.0.0 · Minecraft 1.18–26.2 · Java 17 baseline

33. Data Files and Backup

Common files:

plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/config.yml
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/history.db
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/direct-messages.db
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/group-messages.db
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/web-push-subscriptions.jsonl
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/emojis/
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/uploads/
plugins/KOKOTO-WebChat/audit/

Names can differ when customized.

Recommended backup scope:

• config.yml
• SQLite and JSONL stores
• emojis/
• uploads that must be retained
• Web Push subscriptions and VAPID key files

Copy SQLite databases after a clean server shutdown whenever possible.

34. Reload Versus Restart

Usually reloadable with /kchat reload:

• Most configuration changes
• HTTP service and relay reinitialization
• UI default changes

Requires a server restart:

• JAR replacement
• Java code changes
• Plugin load-order changes
• Some port-lock or web-resource conditions

/kchat reload automatically requests bluemap reload light; if BlueMap assets still appear stale or the command dispatch failed, run /bluemap reload light manually.
