MineBackup-Plugin
MineBackup-Plugin is a Spigot plugin based on Minecraft 1.21. As a complementary component to MineBackup/FolderRewind, it communicates with the main program through the KnotLink protocol, enabling cross-end data synchronization and signal broadcasting. It allows remote control of backup, restoration, automatic backup, and other functions.
For the mod version, see MineBackup-Mod. Compared to the mod version, the plugin version has undergone many optimizations for server-side use.
Features
- KnotLink Protocol Support: Subscribes to broadcast signals from the MineBackup main program via a long-lived TCP connection (default port
6372), enabling low-latency cross-end communication. - Fully Compatible with 1.21.x: Developed based on the latest Spigot API 1.21, supporting Java 21.
- Lightweight Architecture: Focuses on signal subscription and command forwarding, consuming minimal server resources.
Requirements
- Minecraft Version: 1.21.x
- Server Software: Spigot / Paper and its forks
- Java Version: Java 21 or higher
- Dependencies: Requires the MineBackup/FolderRewind+MineRewind main program to be running (provides the KnotLink signal source).
Installation and Usage
- Download the latest
.jarfile from the Releases page. - Place the downloaded
.jarfile into your server'spluginsfolder. - Start or restart your server.
- Ensure the MineBackup main program is running and that the KnotLink Server is installed on your computer. Specifically, Linux/macOS users do not need to install the separate KnotLink Server.
