Better Backups

What Better Backups is

Better Backups is a free Minecraft world backup mod for dedicated servers running Minecraft Java Edition with Fabric. It stores backups locally and can create one immediately or according to a schedule. Interval schedules use minutes, hours, or days, while five-part cron schedules run in the server timezone; choosing one schedule type replaces the other. The active schedule mode counts time while the server is ticking, and realtime mode counts wall-clock time while the server process runs. A configured retention limit keeps only the newest backups. Clickable chat menus provide controls for creating backups, viewing the list, restoring, checking status, and changing settings. Before a selected backup is applied, the restore waits and that delay can be cancelled. By default, the server stops after restoration so its manager can start it again. Commands require server owner permission. Messages are available in English and Chinese, and the project uses Apache-2.0.
