DeluxeMenus - question about meta

[real forge]

So, I've wanted to add cooldown for using certain button in deluxemenus using meta. Just simply add an meta, and remove it after 5 minutes. If user has this meta -> he is on cooldown and cannot click it again. It is working fine, unless I restart server. DeluxeMenus is somehow saving the meta (but it doesn't have any save files inside DeluxeMenus dir.). Because of it, after restarting the server the tag <delay=6000> is not counting so it is not removing the meta, so the user is on infinite cooldown. How to prevent saving meta upon server restart? Or how to make it work.

use something called mastercooldowns

If you use luckperms, you could give user a temporary permission

and then just do a check on that permission

also give that permission on the first click

i do this on my server for parkour checkpoints

Since this post was revived, DeluxeMenus meta just uses a feature from spigot called PersistentDataContainers. Basically the data is stored somewhere in the player-uuid.dat files in the world directory. If you are interested on how this works actually works at a development level, you can read more here: https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/a-guide-to-1-14-persistentdataholder-api.371200/
