PaperCraft

by Partakithware

PaperCraft lets a player create one or more local Paper servers from inside Minecraft and load them into the game.

FabricClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.4

What it does

Each Paper world is created from the in-game menu, and the mod asks the player to accept the Minecraft and PaperMC EULA before the server is made. Once created, a world can be loaded again, and the mod opens a server terminal for it. The server is reached by adding an entry in the Multiplayer screen with the address localhost and the default port 25565. Closing Minecraft shuts the server down.

Paper worlds are saved in the .minecraft/papersaves/ folder under the name chosen by the player. Each world keeps its own plugins, so changes to one server do not affect another. The mod pulls the official PaperMC server API when a world is created, and it runs on Fabric with the fabricloader and Fabric API dependencies, for Minecraft 1.21.4. Only Fabric is listed, and the mod is released under the MIT License. It is not open source.

Key features

  1. Multiple local servers

    A player can create several Paper servers and load any of them later, each in its own saved folder.

  2. EULA acceptance on creation

    The mod records agreement to the Minecraft and PaperMC EULA when a Paper World Server is made.

  3. Built-in server terminal

    After a world is loaded, the server console opens inside the mod, so commands can be typed without a separate window.

  4. Separate plugin storage

    Plugins added to one Paper world stay in that world's folder and leave the others unchanged.

Questions

Which loader does PaperCraft need?

PaperCraft runs on Fabric. It depends on fabricloader and Fabric API for Minecraft 1.21.4 and is not listed for other loaders.

Does a server have to be installed on the host machine?

No. The Paper server is created and started from inside Minecraft, and closing the game stops it.

Are Paper worlds kept when the mod is removed?

Worlds are stored in the .minecraft/papersaves/ folder under the name chosen when each world was created.
