Archive World Downloader

by terbin

Archive World Downloader lets a player save a multiplayer or singleplayer world to a local folder so it can be opened offline later.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.10.2 – 26.3

What it does

Saving starts on a multiplayer server while the player is connected. The client stores what the server has sent, so containers, mobs, item frames, paintings, filled maps and terrain around the player are kept. Only chests the player walked past and actually opened hold their contents; the rest stay empty until they are opened. A Save World option in the pause menu starts the process, and the saved area follows where the player goes.

The saved area can include the overworld, the Nether and the End. Walking through a Nether portal while saving writes the Nether into its own folder inside the same world save. Before starting, the player can toggle which entities, containers and player data are included. Archive World Downloader requires Fabric API and is client-side only, so servers need nothing installed. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source.

Key features

  1. Offline multiplayer copies

    A multiplayer world can be saved to a local folder and then opened as a singleplayer world offline.

  2. Coverage of the three dimensions

    Overworld, Nether and End are saved together, and each Nether portal crossing adds its data to the same save.

  3. Optional data toggles

    Entities, containers and player data can be switched on or off before saving begins.

  4. Coverage tracking on the world map

    Chunks are outlined red until their containers are opened, amber when entities were not sent, and teal once saved.

  5. Map integration

    With XaeroPlus or JourneyMap installed, saved chunks are highlighted on the minimap and world map.

What the author says

Everything comes from your own client. There is no server-side component, no plugin, and nothing to install anywhere but your own game. Entities, containers, and player data are each a toggle, so you decide what a download includes before you start.
