How to Protect Your Builds from Accidental Deletion

Preventing Accidental Wipes

Accidentally clicking the wrong button on the world selection menu can instantly ruin hours of building and exploration in vanilla Minecraft. With the Delete Worlds To Trash Mod installed, your game behavior is automatically modified to protect your saves from these frustrating mistakes.

Whenever you choose to remove a world from your list, the mod intercepts the action. Instead of permanently erasing your data, it redirects the world files directly to your operating system trash or recycle bin. You will be greeted by a clear confirmation screen that helps you double-check your choice before anything moves. Because the files are safely stored in your desktop trash rather than being permanently deleted, you never have to worry about wiping out important worlds by mistake. If you ever realize you need the world back, you can easily restore your old world folders directly from your desktop trash whenever you want them back.
