Bkups

What Bkups is

Bkups is a free Minecraft mod for creating and managing world backups locally. It supports manual, automatic, exit, and legacy backups through a graphical manager with detailed and tree views. Its Whopper System lets players switch worlds without returning to the main menu. Users can set retention limits by storage size or backup count, choose compression, and change the backup folder. Backups are compressed ZIP copies of worlds and are decompressed during restoration. Bkups keeps related files on the PC or, for server backups, in the server owner’s local folder. When trash is enabled, deleted backups can be recovered, and favorited backups are excluded from automatic cleanup. The Modrinth listing covers Minecraft Java Edition 26.3, 26.2, 26.1.x, 1.21.x, and 1.20.1–1.20.6, with Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge. It supports server-side and client-and-server environments. Server administrators can grant non-OP players permission to use backup commands. The listing shows a CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0 license and links to GitHub for issue reports. Only full backups are currently available; incremental and differential backups are planned.

Who it suits

Bkups suits Minecraft Java players and server owners who want local world backups with configurable retention. It is relevant to Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge environments on the listed versions.

Limits

Bkups currently provides full backups only; incremental and differential backups are planned. On servers, non-OP players cannot use backup commands or pause-menu buttons unless an administrator grants permission.

Getting started

1. Open the Bkups listing on Modrinth
2. Install it for a listed Minecraft Java Edition version
3. Use a Fabric, Forge, or NeoForge environment
4. Choose a backup folder and compression setting
5. Set retention by storage size or backup count
6. Configure server permissions when needed

Verdict

Bkups provides local backup creation, management, restoration, and world switching for supported Minecraft setups. Its main limitation is that incremental and differential backup types are not yet available.
