About this Mod

WorldDownloaderForge

A legacy Forge mod that allows you to make backups and archive Minecraft worlds

This is a port of a project made by Pokechu22 (mainainer) & other contributors.

This port was intended to run on Forge 1.8.9, but I ended up doing: 1.9.4-liteloader -> 1.9.4-forge -> 1.8.9 forge, so there's also a 1.9.4 version available.
I'll maybe eventually port 1.12.2.

Frequently Asked Questions

WorldDownloaderLegacy server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong forge version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 4 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.9.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is WorldDownloaderLegacy compatible with forge?

WorldDownloaderLegacy officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.9.4, 1.8.9. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with WorldDownloaderLegacy – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 6 GB (per 5 players). Use /spark profiler to check if WorldDownloaderLegacy consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
