There are two options for storing data for your mod that isn't already saved as part of the game or settings: data saved with a character or data saved to the player's account. For most cases, however, character storage should be the preferred location and account storage used sparingly. Both of these stores are available through your mod's context object, as <code>characterStorage</code> and <code>accountStorage</code>, respectively. Aside from where the data is ultimately saved, character and account storage have identical methods and behaviors. Character storage is not available until after a character has been loaded (<code>onCharacterLoaded</code> lifecycle hook). | There are two options for storing data for your mod that isn't already saved as part of the game or settings: data saved with a character or data saved to the player's account.
