Data Outside Minecraft Environment

by Nozistance

Data Outside Minecraft Environment lets players keep resource packs, data packs, world saves and screenshots in folders outside the game directory.

FabricQuiltClient-side onlyBSD 3-Clause LicenseOpen source1.19.4 – 1.20.1

What it does

Paths for resource packs, data packs, world saves and screenshots can be set so they point to a single folder outside the game. Map files, world saves, packs and screenshots can then sit together, which also makes backups simpler. Installation needs Cloth Config API, and Mod Menu adds an optional configuration screen. The mod runs on the client alone, and is published for Fabric and Quilt for 1.19.4 – 1.20.1, released under the BSD 3-Clause License.

Key features

  1. External data folders

    Resource packs, data packs and world saves can be read from a path chosen by the player, outside the game directory.

  2. Screenshot path

    A separate path can be set for saving screenshots, so captures land in the same folder as other files.

  3. Configuration menu

    Settings are opened through Mod Menu, which adds a configuration screen when that mod is installed.
