Feature Discussion • Re: idea: seperate service for tracking on-person items So moving from server to server can keep personal items.

Wouldn’t it be enough to register a custom authentication handler with core.register_authentication_handler(…) doing all that for you?

It could interface with an on-server application or script, handling all of it independent from Luanti (and thus without its limitations.

I was replying specifically about the inventory retaining, which is not stored in the auth tables. There's ways to do this with shared DBs (pgsql) already, yes, but I don't think anyone would want the full player meta to be shared across servers (writable). An API service seems a little more robust - each server would have the opportunity to e.g. check for unknown item defs.
