I simply need a script or mod that will allow me to "save-all" my forge server every 10-15 minutes or so. I have tried using the backup addon of the Forge Essentials pack and it does not work for me.

save != backup

 

Saving happens internally by game itself.

 

Are you looking for mod or a help in coding it? This forum is for second.

You can make simple ServerTickEVent that would simply copy world/player data to backup folder. Copying big data will lag server so I recommond designing some checksum hierarchy (and check which chunks/players changed from last backup).

1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.

How would I make a script (a simple ServerTickEvent) that would "save-all" the server for me every 15 minutes?

Also, whats the difference between backup and save?

There is not a single person on thins forum that would write code for you.

 

1. Learn how to make mod.

2. Learn how to use Forge Events - particularly ServerTickEvent

3. Use it (event above) to after 15min (18000 ticks counter OR scheluded task without incrementation) to use your backup script.

4. You backup scrip can be even simple java utilizing File.class, BUT if you want to write efficien saver you would need to dig DEEp into MC saving code.

 

Also:

script != coding, so if you are asking about scripts - I assume you are not very familliar with Java.

 

Save is a save, backup is backup. One is original copy, second is backup copy of save. I can't explain it clearer.

1.7.10 is no longer supported by forge, you are on your own.

Hi

 

I think what you want is to create a backup of the saved game files every 15 minutes?  So that if your saved game gets trashed, you can restore from backup?

 

In that case you need to stop minecraft from continuously saving the world, then copy the files, then resume.

 

command save off

command save all

copy files

command save on

 

 

I've written a mod that among other things periodically performs a backup copy, see here for inspiration

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/SpeedyTools/blob/master/src/main/java/speedytools/serverside/backup/MinecraftSaveFolderBackups.java

and

https://github.com/TheGreyGhost/SpeedyTools/blob/master/src/main/java/speedytools/serverside/backup/FolderBackup.java

It has some extra functionality you don't need, the core ideas are there.

 

But I'm sure there are other mods around which do that, that's how I figured out what to do in the first place.  No luck with google?

I wouldn't do my backup from inside minecraft. 

 

My opinion of the best way to run a server is on a Linux system.  Mount a ramdisk at boot, load minecraft onto it, setup the saves to the normal disk periodically, setup scripts to create a backup on whatever frequency you want.

    • "I want to understand how complex mods with ASM transformation and coremods work, such as Xray or AntiXray. Why do they break when you simply rename packages? What features of their architecture make refactoring difficult? And what techniques are used to protect these mods? I am interested in technical aspects in order to better understand the bytecode and Forge loader system."

    • Title: Why Is It So Hard to Rename and Restructure Mods Like Xray or AntiXray? 🤔 Post text: Hey everyone! I’ve been digging into Minecraft modding for a while and have one big question that I can’t figure out on my own. Maybe someone with more experience could help or give me some advice. Here’s the issue: When I take a “normal” Minecraft mod — for example, one that just adds some blocks or new items — I can easily change its structure, package names, or even rebrand it entirely. It’s straightforward. But as soon as I try this with cheat-type mods like XrayMod or AntiXray, everything falls apart. Even if I just rename the classes, refactor the packages, or hide its identity somehow, the mod either breaks or stops working properly. XrayMod in particular is proving to be a nightmare to modify without losing its core function. So my question is — why is this so much harder with cheat mods like Xray? Is there something fundamentally different about how they’re coded, loaded, or protected that prevents simple renaming or restructuring? And if so, how can I actually learn to understand someone else’s cheat mod enough to safely refactor it without breaking the core features? I’ve already been spending over two months trying to figure this out and haven’t gotten anywhere. It feels like there must be some trick or knowledge I’m missing. Would really appreciate any thoughts, tips, or references — maybe there are guides or techniques for understanding cheat-mod internals? Or if you’ve successfully “disguised” a cheat mod like Xray before, I’d love to hear how you did it. Thanks in advance for any help or discussion. ✌️
