We've been working on a plugin to clean up the usual mess of tightly coupled Blueprints, interfaces, and redundant getters/setters.

DataShard is a type-safe, event-driven data layer for Unreal Engine (Blueprint & C++).
It lets you store and share data globally or per-actor – with automatic cleanup and change events built in.

Highlights:

  • Global or actor-scoped key-value storage
  • OnDataChanged events (Blueprint & C++)
  • Type safety (no casting, no crashes)
  • Bound keys for clean referencing
  • Automatically cleans up unused keys
  • Strong debugging tool

Perfect for:

  • Clean UI syncing
  • Replacing bloated interfaces
  • Sharing state across systems
  • Multiplayer-safe architecture

Built it for our own project, now releasing it for others.
Let me know if you try it or have feedback!
