One World Folder
by linusdev
One World Folder lets a Minecraft Fabric instance point at a saves folder placed outside the .minecraft directory, so worlds can live anywhere on disk.
What it does
Once the mod is loaded, the game reads worlds from the folder set in its config, and the config takes the highest priority when a path is given. When no path is set, the mod detects the default saves folder inside .minecraft and uses that instead. Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to run it.
Files are released under the Apache License 2.0 and are open source, with the source code publicly available. Builds target 1.20.1 – 26.3, and Fabric API must be installed alongside it.
Key features
Custom saves location
Worlds can be read from a folder outside the default .minecraft directory, set through the mod's config file.
Replaces the singleplayer button
The mod can swap the singleplayer button for a single player entry that opens the custom folder.
Resource pack style folders
A folder such as mycoolresourcepacks behaves like the resourcepacks folder of the instance.
