WorldTools: World Downloader (Fabric / NeoForge)

WorldTools is a powerful Minecraft mod that allows you to capture and save high-detail snapshots of server worlds locally. It empowers you to download comprehensive information, including chunks, entities, chests, players, statistics, advancements, and detailed metadata. WorldTools ensures that you can retain an accurate and unaltered representation of the server's world for analysis, sharing, or backup purposes on your local machine.

This project is a fork of the original WorldTools, updated to support newer Minecraft versions(1.21.5+) on Fabric and NeoForge, with some bugs fixed.

Features

  • World Download (default keybind: F12): Initiate a quick download by hitting the F12 key, which can be altered in the keybind settings. Alternatively, you can access the GUI (default keybind: F10) via the escape menu. The GUI allows you to tailor the capture process according to your requirements. WorldTools facilitates the capture of a wide range of crucial elements, ensuring no detail is missed.

    • Chunks: Terrain, biomes and structures
    • Entities: Inventories and attributes of most entities
    • Containers: Contents of all tile entities like chests, shulkers, hoppers, furnaces, brewing stands, droppers, dispensers etc...
    • Players: Player positions and inventories
    • Statistics: Full personal player statistics
    • Advancements: Player advancements and progress
    • Special Objects: Maps, Lecterns and Banners
    • Detailed Metadata: Exhaustive capture details like modt, server version, timestamps, and more
  • Easy Access to Saved Worlds: Your locally captured world save can be found in the single-player worlds list, allowing you to load and explore it conveniently.

  • Advanced Configuration: WorldTools provides a wide range of settings to customize the capture process to your needs. Select elements to capture, modify game rules, alter entity NBT data, and configure the capture process in detail.
