One place directory
by BZKgns
One place directory lets a Fabric player point screenshots, multiplayer server lists and singleplayer saves at folders chosen in one configuration.
What it does
One place directory centralizes the Minecraft data folders a player normally finds scattered across the game directory. A single general directory can hold the screenshots, the server list and the world saves, and a specific directory can be set as a fallback for each category when the general one is not wanted. Every category can also take its own folder path as an optional override, so one kind of data can live on another drive while the rest stay together.
The mod is useful for players who keep many worlds, want their screenshots sorted by location, or move between several instances and would like the same data folders reused. It works with config screen mods such as Mod Menu, which lets the settings be changed without editing files by hand. The mod requires MidnightLib, a Fabric library, and is licensed under the MIT License with its source code published, so it is open source. Files exist only for Fabric and the 1.21.7 game version, with 0.0.1 as the latest file.

How it compares
ScreenshotFolder is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License and open source, but it only handles screenshots. Screenshot Layers is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.4 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved and is not open source. MC Folders is open source under CC0 1.0 Universal, a Fabric client mod made for 1.18.2, so it covers an older version than this mod.
