Starlight Preserved

by starmun

Starlight Preserved backs up a Fabric server world on a schedule, flushing data to disk before each archive is written.

FabricServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved26.1

What it does

The backup runs at a configurable interval, so a server owner rarely loses more than the time since the last archive. Before zipping, the mod flushes world data to disk so the copy is clean. If the drive does not have enough free space for a backup, that run is skipped and a warning is logged. Players online receive a notification when a backup starts and finishes.

Settings live in a simple JSON config file, where the interval and the number of backups to keep can be tweaked. Starlight Preserved requires Fabric Loader and Fabric API. The server must run it, while players may leave it out and still join. Files target 26.1 only, with the latest Fabric build 0.0.2 released on 2026-03-31 on the alpha channel. The mod is published under All rights reserved and is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public.

Key features

  1. Automatic backups

    The world is archived at a configurable interval without any manual command from the server owner.

  2. Safe saves

    World data is flushed to disk before zipping, so each archive reflects a consistent state of the world.

  3. Disk space check

    A backup is skipped and a warning is raised when there is not enough free disk space for it.

  4. Player notifications

    Online players are told when a backup broadcasts its status, so they know the world is being saved.

  5. JSON configuration

    The backup interval and the maximum number of kept backups are set in a plain JSON config file.

Questions

Does Starlight Preserved need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required alongside Fabric Loader, and both must be installed on the server.

Do players need the mod installed?

No. The server must run it, but players can join without it, so either side can skip it.

Which game versions does the mod support?

Files target 26.1 only, and the latest Fabric build is 0.0.2 for 26.1.

What happens when the disk is nearly full?

The mod checks free space before each backup. If there is not enough room, the backup is skipped and a warning is raised.
