SaveMySaves is a lightweight server-side Minecraft Forge mod that auto-backups the world you're playing into timestamped .zip files, keeping only the newest N copies per world.
- Works in single player too — not just dedicated servers; the mod tracks the world you're currently playing and backs it up in single-player / LAN worlds as well.
- Where backups go — inside each world's own save folder:
saves/<WorldName>/_backups/<WorldName>_yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss.zip. The folder name_backupsis configurable. - Fully configurable — edit
config/savemysaves.cfg(categorygeneral):enabled,intervalMinutes(1–1440, default 15),maxBackups(default 10),backupDirName. - On demand —
/backup now(alias/sms) triggers one immediately;/backup statusshows settings and the latest archive. - No client install needed — messages are rendered server-side, so vanilla clients see plain text instead of raw translation keys.
