You could also create a file and make it hidden, as e.g. described in javacodeexamples.com/make-file-hid....

I wouldn't advise using your jar file for storage. That's not what it is meant for and as such you'll likely encounter more and more difficulties along the way.

Okay, well, then I should probably go about encoding the data?

Because, if possible, I want to do all I can to prevent file tampering.

Thanks for the suggestion, it really helps!

There are a number of ways to do that. This might be a reasonable starting point: baeldung.com/java-cipher-input-out...
