CloudBackup
by btmluiz
CloudBackup copies a Minecraft world on a schedule and uploads the copies to a cloud storage service such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
What it does
Once installed and configured, CloudBackup runs in the background and creates backups of a world according to the settings chosen by the player. Backups can be made at a set frequency, and the number of copies kept is configurable. Automatic uploads can be switched on or off, and a backup can be sent to the preferred cloud storage service with a few clicks, so progress is kept safe if a game is lost to an unforeseen problem.
The mod is a client-side only installation, so players install it on their own game and servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.20 released as beta builds on 2023-07-06, and the game versions covered run 1.19 – 1.20 across six release versions. Its code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, and the public source code and issue tracker are linked from the project.

Use cases
Protecting long survival worlds
Players with long-running worlds can keep regular copies so that a corrupted save or a mistake does not erase weeks of progress.
Off-site copies
Uploading to a cloud service keeps a copy of the world available even if the computer holding the game fails.
Who it’s for: Players who keep long survival or creative worlds and want regular copies stored in the cloud rather than only on the local disk.
