How to Find Saved Death Backup Files in Your World Folder

Every time a player dies, Death Backup Mod writes their inventory and gear into a file inside the active world folder. Knowing where these files live helps you preserve player death histories when backing up worlds or moving a save between singleplayer and a server.

Locating Your World Folder

1. For singleplayer, open the game options, go to Resource Packs, click Open Pack Folder, and move up one directory level to reach your main Minecraft folder. Open the saves folder, then open the folder for your specific world.

2. For a multiplayer server, open your server's main directory and open the active world folder (named world by default unless changed in server.properties).

Managing Player Backup Folders

1. Inside the world folder, locate the backup folders created by the mod, which separate saved inventories into individual folders by player name.

2. Because singleplayer and multiplayer environments use the same player-separated folder layout inside the world folder, transferring a world from singleplayer to a server keeps everyone's death backups intact.

3. Include these player folders whenever you copy or archive your world so anyone with cheat access can still use /deathbackup list and /deathbackup load <index> to recover enchanted gear and written books.
