Swap Worlds
by MiniTanjiro
Swap Worlds lets server administrators switch between saved worlds, back them up and sort them into themed map folders with in-game commands, for Forge 1.20.1.
What it does
Server administrators can move between several worlds on a Forge server without restarting it, using commands typed in the game. Each world can be backed up in full, and backups can be kept alongside the live maps so an earlier state is always available.
Themed maps folders group worlds by purpose, which suits creative builds, quest-style maps and arena servers. Because the mod works on the server only, players join with an ordinary client and install nothing. The mod is published for Forge 1.20.1 alone, with the latest file 1.0 dated 2025-11-17, and it is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
World switching
Administrators change the active world through commands, so a server can host several maps in turn.
Backup management
Whole worlds can be copied into backups, listed and kept for later restoration.
Themed maps folder
Worlds are stored in a maps folder organized by theme, keeping adventure and mini-game maps apart.
Safe file operations
Copying and switching are handled so that player progress is not put at risk during world manipulation.
Command-based control
Every action is performed with simple in-game commands rather than by editing files on disk.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Mini-game servers
Operators rotate between arena maps and reset them from backups between rounds.
Adventure map hosting
A server can offer several adventure maps and switch to whichever one a group of players has chosen.
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who run a Forge 1.20.1 server with more than one world and want to manage those worlds from inside the game.
