Better World Backup
by Allaycpvp
Better World Backup lets players and server owners copy a world from a graphical screen, either by hand or on an automatic schedule.
What it does
Open the backup screen through the backup command, then create a copy of the current world. Making a backup takes a while, and the time grows with the size of the world. A saved copy can be opened from the same screen to load it, and the manage option lets a player choose which backup to work with.
Backups can be made manually at any moment or automatically every 10 minutes. The mod runs on the client and the server, so the server and every player need it. Installation requires Fabric. Files are published for 17 release versions, and the license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
Graphical backup screen
A screen opened with the backup command lists saved copies and offers the actions for each one.
Manual and timed backups
Copies can be triggered by hand or made automatically on a 10 minute interval.
Load a saved copy
Selecting a backup in the screen and choosing the open option loads that saved world.
Manage existing backups
Each saved copy can be chosen and handled from the same interface, without typing file paths.
