Swap World

Version : 1.0 Minecraft : 1.20.1 Type : Server / Admin Utility Mod Author : Minitanjiro


Description

Swap World is a comprehensive world management mod for Minecraft servers running Forge 1.20.1. It allows server administrators to switch between multiple worlds effortlessly, create backups, and manage themed maps—all through simple in-game commands. Ideal for creative projects, adventure maps, and mini-game servers, this mod ensures safe world manipulation without risking player progress.


Features

  • World Switching

Instantly or on server shutdown, you can switch the active world to a saved themed map. All operations are safe and preserve your existing worlds.

  • Backup Management

Create named backups of the current world. The mod warns you if a backup with the same name already exists and allows overwriting with a force option.

  • Themed Maps Folder

All backups and custom worlds are stored in a dedicated /themed_maps folder, keeping your server organized.

  • Safe File Operations

Automatic deletion and copying of world folders ensures no corruption, even during active server operations.

  • Command-Based Control

All features are accessible via intuitive commands:

  • /backupmap <name> – Create a backup.
  • /backupmap <name> force – Overwrite an existing backup.
  • /switchmap <name> – Schedule a world switch.
  • /maps – List all available themed maps and backups.

Usage Example

  1. /backupmap test → Backup created successfully: test
  2. /backupmap test → A backup with the same name already exists. Use 'force' to overwrite.
  3. /backupmap test force → Backup overwritten successfully: test
  4. /switchmap adventure_world → The map will be applied on next server shutdown.
