ServerBackupFabric
by jroybaldev
ServerBackupFabric lets server owners create, schedule and restore backups of a Minecraft server world from inside the game.
What it does
Backups can be made by hand whenever a server operator wants a copy of the world, or run automatically on a schedule that repeats at set intervals, so the world stays covered between manual saves. Old copies are removed on their own once the stored total passes the configured limit, which keeps disk use from growing without end.
Restoration works at two levels: a whole server world can be rolled back to a chosen backup, or a single player's inventory can be taken from a backup without touching the rest of the world. Command suggestions list backup IDs and online player names, which speeds up typing. The mod runs on the server alone, and it is published for Fabric 1.21.5 only, released under CC0 1.0 Universal as open source. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.
Key features
Manual backups
A server operator can start a backup at any moment to capture the world as it stands.
Scheduled backups
Backups repeat at a set interval, so the world is copied regularly without anyone having to remember.
Automatic cleanup
Older backups are deleted automatically once the limit is reached, which saves disk space.
Restore the whole world
An entire server world can be reset to a chosen backup.
Restore one player's inventory
Only the inventory of a single player is restored from a backup, leaving the world untouched.
Command suggestions
Autocomplete offers backup IDs and online player names while typing commands.
