Chrono Keeper Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I take a quick backup without opening the menu?
Press F7 while playing to start an instant backup of your current world. You can also open the chat window and run the command `/backup start`.
How do I restore my world from a backup file?
First, type `/backup list` in chat to find the exact name of the archive you want to load. Then run `/backup restore `, or use `/backup restore -r` if you need to overwrite an existing world folder.
Why did my automatic backups suddenly stop working?
The mod stops creating new archives if your drive drops below the `free-space-threshold` set in your configuration. You should also check the settings menu to make sure `auto-backup` is enabled and verify your remaining disk space.
How can I stop backups from filling up my hard drive?
Adjust the `backup-limit` setting to cap the total number of saved files, or set `retention-days` to automatically delete archives older than a certain number of days. You can also Lower the file size by raising the `compression-level` toward 9.
How do I move my backups to a different drive or folder?
Use the `/backup path set` command or the in-game settings screen to choose a custom storage directory. If you want to go back to using the default folder, run `/backup path game`.
Why is the `/backup delete` command not removing my files?
Deleting archives with `/backup delete last` or `/backup delete all` requires a second step to prevent accidents. You must type `/backup delete confirm` right after the initial command to actually erase the files.
How do I make the backup process faster or reduce lag while saving?
Increase the `compression-threads` option to let the mod use more CPU cores for multi-core file compression. You can also lower the `compression-level` closer to 0, which trades larger file sizes for faster saving speeds.
Can I cancel a backup while it is still running?
Yes, type `/backup reset` in the chat window to immediately stop the current backup process. The animated progress bar on your screen will disappear once the task is canceled.
How do I put a password on my world backup files?
Open the configuration settings and change the `archive-method` option from regular ZIP files to password-protected archives. This encrypts your saved world data so it stays private.
What happens if I mess up the configuration file?
Chrono Keeper automatically detects damaged configuration files and recovers them using default values. If you want to check how often your game is currently saving, check the `interval` setting, which can be set anywhere from 1 to 120 minutes.
