Litematica Backup
by Jorik_Smith
Litematica Backup is a Fabric mod that saves copies of Litematica schematics on its own, without any manual step from the player.
What it does
Backups run automatically at three moments: when the game launches, a few minutes after play begins, and when the game exits. A new copy is written only when a schematic has changed since the previous backup, so unchanged files are not duplicated. The mod also backs up the Litematica configuration, placements and selections, and it works with a custom schematics folder set in Litematica.
Old backups are removed automatically, and by default the mod keeps the 20 most recent. The mod requires Litematica, and it runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. It is published for Fabric only, with builds covering 1.21 – 26.3 across 17 release versions, and it is released under the MIT License. The code is not open source. The latest file, 2.0, targets 26.3 and was published on 2026-10-03.
Key features
Automatic backups on three triggers
Copies are made when the game launches, a few minutes into play and when the game exits, with no manual step.
Change-based copies
A backup is written only when a schematic differs from the last one, which keeps the backup folder free of duplicates.
Configuration and selections
Litematica settings, placements and selections are included in the backup along with the schematics.
Automatic cleanup
Older backups are deleted automatically, keeping the 20 most recent by default.

Use cases
Protecting a long build
A large schematic project keeps a recent history, so an accidental overwrite can be rolled back to an earlier copy.
Who it’s for: Players who keep many Litematica schematics and want a rolling history of them without managing files by hand.
