Cherished Worlds Mod FAQ

19 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I favorite a world in Cherished Worlds?
Open your singleplayer world selection list and click the pin or star icon next to the world you want to keep at the top. Once marked, that world jumps to the top of the list and its delete button greys out.
How do I unpin a world so I can delete it again?
Click the same pin or star icon on the world to toggle favoriting off. The world returns to its normal position in the list and the delete button becomes clickable again.
Why is the delete button greyed out on my world?
That world is favorited, and Cherished Worlds blocks deletion of pinned worlds on purpose. Unfavorite it first, then you can delete it normally.
Can I favorite more than one world at a time?
Yes, there's no limit on how many worlds you can pin. When you have several, they sort among themselves by last played date, just like regular worlds do.
Do favorited worlds stay at the top even if I haven't played them in a long time?
Yes, that's the point of the mod. A pinned world stays above all unpinned worlds regardless of how old it is, though it still orders by last played relative to your other favorites.
Does this mod work on a server or does it need to be installed on the server?
It's client-side only, so it works on your own game without the server needing it. You only need it installed on the client where you're viewing the world list.
Will favoriting a world protect it from being deleted by accident?
Yes, pinned worlds can't be deleted until you unfavorite them, which acts as a safety net against misclicks. It won't protect against manually deleting the world folder outside the game, though.
Can I rename a world from the world selection screen?
Yes, the mod lets you rename saved worlds directly from the list for better organization. This changes the display name without needing to touch the world files yourself.
Does Cherished Worlds affect performance or cause lag?
No, it only changes how the world selection list is displayed and sorted. It doesn't touch world generation or in-game rendering, so there's no performance impact while playing.
Is Cherished Worlds compatible with other mods that change the world selection screen?
It generally works alongside most mods, but other mods that heavily redesign the world list UI may overlap with its buttons. If the pin icon doesn't appear, check for a conflicting world-list mod.
How do I favorite a world in Cherished Worlds Mod?
Open your singleplayer world selection screen and click the star or pin icon next to the world you want to favorite. Once clicked, the world jumps to the top of the list and its delete button greys out.
How do I unpin a world?
Click the same star or pin icon again on the world selection screen to toggle the favorite off. The world returns to its normal sorted position and the delete button becomes active again.
Can I favorite multiple worlds at once?
Yes, there is no limit on how many worlds you can pin. If you have several favorited, they sort among themselves by last played date, just like normal worlds do.
Do pinned worlds stay on top even if I played another world more recently?
Yes, that is the whole point of the mod. Favorited worlds always sit above non-favorited ones, even if an unpinned world was played more recently.
How do pinned worlds sort relative to each other?
Among your favorited worlds, they order themselves by last played date, the same way regular worlds sort. The most recently played pinned world appears first within the pinned group.
Does this mod work on a server or is it client side only?
Cherished Worlds is client-side only, so it affects your own world selection screen and nothing on the server. You can use it while playing on servers without the server needing the mod.
Will favoriting a world stop me from deleting it forever?
No, it only blocks deletion while the world is favorited. Unfavorite the world and you can delete it normally whenever you want.
Can I rename my saved worlds with this mod?
Yes, the mod lets you rename your saved worlds so you can organize them better. This is useful when you have many worlds with similar auto-generated names.
Does cherished worlds work with other world management or backup mods?
It generally coexists fine with other client-side world list mods, but two mods that both reorder or add buttons to the world selection screen can conflict visually. If buttons overlap or the list looks wrong, try disabling the other world-list mod to check.
