One World Folder
A minecraft fabric mod, that allows minecraft to access the default saves folder located in .minecraft. To open the world select screen click on the OneWorldFolder icon next to the Singleplayer button. If you like my mods consider supporting the development by buying me a coffee:
Config
One world folder has a config to change its behavior. The config-file currently must be edited manually.
Config Location
There are two possible locations for this config file:
.minecraft/config/oneworldfolder/oneworldfolder.jsoncurrentMinecraftInstanceFolder/config/oneworldfolder/oneworldfolder.json
The config with the highest priority will be used.
Default Config
The generated default config looks like this:
{
"external_saves_directory": "--auto-detect",
"priority": -1,
"swap_owf_and_singleplayer_button": false,
"replace_singleplayer_button": false,
"additional_resourcepacks_dirs": []
}
This config will automatically detect the default saves folder located in .minecraft.
Custom external saves folder
To use a custom saves folder set external_saves_directory to your desired directory:
{
"external_saves_directory": "C:/Users/username/mycoolsaves",
"priority": -1,
"swap_owf_and_singleplayer_button": false,
"replace_singleplayer_button": false,
"additional_resourcepacks_dirs": []
}
Custom external resourcepacks folder (since v. 1.0.13)
To use a custom resourcepacks folder add your desired directory to additional_resourcepacks_dirs:
{
"external_saves_directory": "C:/Users/username/mycoolsaves",
"priority": -1,
"swap_owf_and_singleplayer_button": false,
"replace_singleplayer_button": false,
"additional_resourcepacks_dirs": [
"C:/Users/username/mycoolresourcepacks"
]
}
In the above example the mycoolresourcepacks folder acts exactly as the resourcepacks folder of your Minecraft instance.
Other Config Options
swap_owf_and_singleplayer_button(since v. 1.0.8): The single player button now
opens your specified external saves folder. The OneWorldFolder button now opens the normal saves folder of the current instance.
replace_singleplayer_button(since v. 1.0.8): The single player button now
opens your specified external saves folder. No extra buttons are added. If this is enabled (set to true), the swap_owf_and_singleplayer_button option will be ignored.
