World Change
by ppapkajiwara
World Change lets a player leave the current singleplayer or local world and load another saved world with a single command, without returning to the title screen.
What it does
Switching always saves the current world before the next one loads. The new world opens from the saves folder while the player stays in the game, and the usual loading screen appears in the same way it does when a player picks a world from the menu, so the player is never sent back to the title screen. The switch works from anywhere, including while connected to a multiplayer server, where it disconnects and loads the local world.
Switching can be done by typing the worldChange command or by opening the World Change Mod Menu entry, which shows a clean vanilla-style list of worlds where one click switches. Smart matching finds a world by its name, and a seed is used only as a tie-breaker when two worlds have the same name. Worlds that cannot be loaded because of an incompatible version are shown locked and disabled. The interface is built from Minecraft's native UI and custom textures, so it looks and feels like the vanilla game.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for six release versions: 1.21.10, 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 and 26.2. It runs on the client alone, so players install it and servers do not need it. It is released under a custom license and is not open source; the source code and issue tracker are public.

What the author says
Switch between your singleplayer worlds with a single command — no trip back to the title screen. WorldChange loads another world from your saves folder while you're still in-game. It reuses Minecraft's own "play selected world" flow, so all you see is the normal loading screen — you never get kicked back to the menu.
