GitWorlds
by KazLabs
GitWorlds gives each Minecraft world its own Git repository, so world saves can be versioned, branched and restored from inside the game.
What it does
On NeoForge, the mod creates a Git repository for each world and tracks its state with version control. Every play session starts on a new branch, and an auto-commit system records the world at a configurable interval, with a default of 10 minutes. Players can view earlier states and restore a previous world from the history.
Remote backup sharing is optional and works with GitHub, so a copy of a world's repository can be pushed off the local machine. Settings such as commit timing and backup behavior are changed through an in-game GUI, which lists a large set of configuration options.
The mod is built for NeoForge 1.21.8 only and runs on the client and on the server, so the server and every player need it. Its license is All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.
Key features
Automatic repository creation
Each world receives its own Git repository when it is created or loaded, with no manual setup.
Session-based branching
A new branch is created for every play session, keeping the history of each visit separate.
Auto-commit at intervals
The world is committed automatically on a schedule, with a default interval of 10 minutes that can be changed.
Version history and restore
Previous world states can be browsed and restored from the recorded commits.
Optional remote backup
Repositories can be shared to a remote such as GitHub as an extra copy of the world.

Use cases

Keeping offsite copies
A player who wants a backup outside the local machine can connect the world repository to a remote.
Who it’s for: Players who want to keep track of changes to a world over time, and players who want an offsite copy of a world. The mod suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers that run NeoForge 1.21.8.
