WorldBinder

WorldBinder is a client-side Fabric mod for capturing world data your Minecraft client has already received and exporting it as a playable vanilla world save. It is built for permitted backups, preservation, local inspection and recovery.

It cannot reveal unloaded or hidden server data, bypass permissions, or reproduce server-only logic. Only archive worlds, servers, maps, builds and resource packs you own or have explicit permission to save.

What it offers

• Client-side chunk capture with HotCache-first collection and a durable temporary cache for longer sessions.
• Target-version world export with blocks, block entities, entities and additional data where available.
• Recovery, autosave and validation reports to help inspect an interrupted or incomplete capture.
• Export of a received server resource pack as resources.zip where available.
• F9 Control Center, Queue Dashboard/Profiler and a visual HUD Widget Editor.
• F10 Live Map in 2D and 3D with texture-based terrain, colors for custom resource-pack blocks, relief shading, smooth zoom and panning, layers, filters, waypoints, an info sidebar and a chunk inspector.
• 24 optional Movement Tools – from Speed, Fly and Step to Bunny Hop, Jetpack, Low Gravity and Elytra Boost – with profiles, a master switch, optional hotkeys and a configurable movement HUD.
• Central status delivery through Chat, Toast, Chat & Toast or None.
• German and English interface text.

Interface

Since 1.6.0, WorldBinder uses one design system for every screen: rounded panels, soft shadows, pixel icons, animated switches and sliders, smooth screen and page transitions and rebuilt tooltips with titles and shortcut hints. Choose one of eight theme accents or a custom color, set background dim, animation speed, interface sounds and tooltip delay in Settings > Interface. Settings track unsaved changes, can reset a page and save with Ctrl+S. Keyboard focus is visible, Tab navigates controls, and Ctrl+Tab switches sections. High contrast and reduced motion remain available.

Interactive resource reloads keep ready menus and worlds usable without a separate WorldBinder progress indicator. Vanilla loading remains optional; startup and failed reloads keep Minecraft's normal behavior.

Live Map

The F10 map caches captured terrain in region textures and only repaints changed chunks, so it stays smooth even for large captures. A second layer shows queued, scanning, partial and failed chunks. Zoom towards the cursor, drag or use W/A/S/D, select chunks to inspect them, queue rescans, copy coordinates and jump to any position. Explore mode adds every loaded chunk without capturing, entity markers show mobs, animals, items and players, filters narrow the view, waypoints mark places (including your last death), and the map can be exported as a PNG, as region tiles, as a 3D model (GLB/OBJ) or as a 3D render. Press V for the 3D view: rotate, tilt and exaggerate the terrain with players and entities shown in place. Map colors can follow the active resource packs, so custom server blocks made from note block states show up in their real colors. The HUD chunk radar uses the same textures and can rotate with your view or stay visible as a minimap.

Compatibility

One Fabric jar runs on Minecraft 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3. Install Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer and a Fabric API build matching your Minecraft version. Java 25 is required. Mod Menu is optional. These five 26.x releases are also export targets, alongside older supported targets.

WorldBinder is not a server backup replacement. Export quality depends on data the client actually received and on target-version mappings. Remote servers may reject movement assistance; it never grants server permissions.
