WorldBinder Alpha V3
WorldBinder Alpha V3 is the third public Alpha release and a major responsive UI, 26.x export compatibility and release polish update.
This release focuses on making the entire WorldBinder interface usable across different Minecraft window sizes and GUI scales, improving modern 26.x world export compatibility, polishing the profiler and documentation, fixing keybind visibility in Minecraft's controls screen, and preparing the project for wider Alpha testing.
Highlights
- Added a new virtual scaled GUI canvas for WorldBinder screens
- Fixed major layout issues when Minecraft is not running in fullscreen
- Improved F9 Control Center scaling, spacing and window-size behavior
- Improved F10 Map scaling, viewport behavior, tooltips and fullscreen-style layout consistency
- Improved Config, Capture, Archive, Recovery, Tools, About and progress screens across different window sizes
- Fixed tooltip positioning when using the new scaled GUI canvas
- Improved the Capture responsibly screen layout and background sizing
- Removed redundant Capture screen status text that could appear outside its intended box
- Improved and redesigned the Queue Dashboard / Profiler screen
- Added missing language keys for polished Alpha V3 UI text
- Fixed WorldBinder keybind visibility in Minecraft's controls/keybind screen
- Added a dedicated WorldBinder keybind category
- Improved 26.x gamerule export handling for modern game rule registry keys
- Skips unknown or unsafe gamerule mappings instead of producing broken
game_rules.datdata - Improved 26.x world spawn metadata for Paper/Multiverse imports
- Updated README and HOW_TO_USE documentation for Alpha V3
- Replaced old Alpha V1/V2 wording in user-facing documentation where appropriate
Responsive GUI Update
Alpha V3 introduces a new virtual 960x540 WorldBinder GUI canvas.
Instead of relying on fragile per-screen breakpoint logic, WorldBinder now keeps its menus on a stable virtual layout and scales that layout to the actual Minecraft window. This makes screens behave much more consistently across fullscreen, windowed mode, different aspect ratios and different GUI scales.
This affects major WorldBinder screens including:
- F9 Control Center
- F10 Map
- Config
- Capture
- Archive and validation flows
- Recovery
- Tools
- About
- Queue Dashboard / Profiler
- Finish and progress screens
- Legal / capture responsibility screen
Very small windows may still look more pixelated because Minecraft's pixel-font UI is being scaled down, but the layout should remain usable and consistent.
26.x Export Compatibility
Alpha V3 improves modern 26.x export compatibility, especially around game rules and world spawn metadata.
Legacy gamerule names are now mapped to supported modern 26.x game rule registry keys where possible. Unknown or unsafe mappings are skipped instead of writing invalid registry keys that could break Paper's saved-data parser.
The modern world spawn compound now also uses the exported world key more correctly for Paper/Multiverse-style imports, helping imported worlds keep the expected world spawn.
Keybinds
WorldBinder keybinds now use a dedicated WorldBinder category in Minecraft's controls screen.
This makes the documented F6, F7, F8, F9 and F10 bindings easier to find, review and rebind.
Loader Support
WorldBinder Alpha V3 is currently available for Fabric.
Quilt and NeoForge support are being evaluated for future releases, but they are not part of this release yet.
Important Alpha Notice
WorldBinder is still an Alpha project.
Exports may still differ from the original server-side world depending on what the client received, server setup, custom content, resource packs, entities, dimensions, chunks, game rules and the selected target output version.
Use WorldBinder only on worlds, maps, builds or servers that you own, administer, created yourself, or where you have explicit permission. You are responsible for how exported data is used.

Release Status
This release is intended for public Alpha testing and feedback.
WorldBinder Alpha V3 is a major improvement over Alpha V2, especially for UI usability and modern 26.x export behavior, but it is still not considered a final or stable release.
Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
