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