Cobblemon Full Restore

Cobblemon Full Restore adds a simple and safe /cfr command suite for backing up and restoring a player's Cobblemon PC and Party data, including an optional scheduled auto-backup system with rotating snapshots, so a sudden crash or power outage doesn't cost you your Pokémon even if nobody had the chance to back up manually first.

Perfect for singleplayer players and small server communities who frequently lose Pokémon due to crashes or connection issues.

How It Works

Manual backups: /cfr backup creates a snapshot file (.dat.old) of your current PC and Party. /cfr restore replaces the active .dat files with that backup.

Auto-backups: on a configurable timer (default every 30 minutes), the mod automatically snapshots every online player's data to rotating .dat.auto.<timestamp> files — completely separate from the manual .dat.old slot, so scheduled backups never overwrite your manual backup or each other. By default, up to 5 snapshots are kept per player so you have several restore points to fall back through, not just one. A free snapshot is also taken on disconnect (and optionally on join).

Safety first:

• Restoring always requires two-step confirmation — run the command twice within 30 seconds (or /cfr restore cancel to back out)
• Before restoring, your current data is automatically saved as .dat.crash.<timestamp> so nothing is permanently lost
• Backups and snapshots refuse to capture a .dat file that looks truncated/corrupted (under 64 bytes), so a crash never gets mistaken for a "good" backup
• All backup files are automatically pruned to a configurable retention count, so your save folder never fills up with old files

Configuration

Settings live in config/cobblemonfullrestore.json (created automatically) and can also be changed live in-game with /cfr autobackup commands.
