WorldDownloaderForge
A legacy Forge mod that allows you to make backups and archive Minecraft worlds
This is a port of a project made by Pokechu22 (mainainer) & other contributors.
This port was intended to run on Forge 1.8.9, but I ended up doing: 1.9.4-liteloader -> 1.9.4-forge -> 1.8.9 forge, so there's also a 1.9.4 version available.
I'll maybe eventually port 1.12.2.
