===JSON files===

You can store data in arbitrary <samp>.json</samp> files in your mod folder. Note that these files will be lost if the player deletes them (''e.g.'', when updating your mod), so this is mainly useful for bundled files, cache files, etc.

===Save data===

You can store arbitrary data in the current save file. This is mainly useful for save-specific data, like player progression and custom items. This is subject to some restrictions: the save file must be loaded (''e.g.'', it won't work on the title screen), it can't be used by farmhands in multiplayer (you can [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Utilities#Context|check <samp>Context.IsMainPlayer</samp>]]), and it'll be discarded if the player exits without saving. If the data needs to be prepared prior to saving, the [[Modding:Modder Guide/APIs/Events#GameLoop.Saving|<samp>GameLoop.Saving</samp> event]] is a good time to do it.
