WorldBinder
by philiipp06
WorldBinder is a client-side Fabric tool that captures the world data a Minecraft client has already received and exports it as a playable vanilla world save.
What it does
Capture runs from data the client already holds: chunks, entities and state that the game sent during play. The export is written as a vanilla world save, so it can be opened in the regular game. Players, server owners, builders and developers who want a local archive of a world they are allowed to preserve can use it for that purpose.
The mod ships a HUD with customizable widgets, a Movement Tool with badges, and optional movement assistance for singleplayer and local test worlds. Recovery and target-version export are included, and the F9 Control Center settings have been reorganized for easier navigation. Fabric API is required. Mod Menu is optional and adds a settings entry for the mod.
A single Fabric jar covers Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. The latest file, 1.5.0 for 26.3, was published on 2026-09-28. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game. WorldBinder is open source under the MIT License, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public.
Key features
World capture and export
Data the client has received is captured and written out as a playable vanilla world save.
Customizable HUD widgets
Widgets on the HUD can be arranged and configured to show the information the player wants during a capture session.
Movement Tool
A tool with badges helps track movement, and optional movement assistance is available for test worlds.
Target-version export
Exports can target a chosen version, including older supported targets alongside the newest ones.
Reloads without a separate progress screen
Interactive reloads leave menus and worlds that are already ready open for use, and when a reload fails the standard vanilla loading path is still there to fall back on.
