How to Manually Edit and Back Up Waypoint JSON Files

Nexus Trace Mod stores all of your location data in clean JSON files on your computer. Because the mod works entirely on the client side, every singleplayer world and multiplayer server you visit is saved into its own separate file. This makes it easy to back up your coordinates, share waypoint lists with friends, or bulk-edit markers outside the game.

Editing Waypoints Manually

If you want to add a large list of coordinates at once or tweak profiles without using the in-game menus, you can edit the data files directly.

1. Navigate to your Minecraft installation folder and locate the directory where Nexus Trace Mod stores its world files.

2. Find the specific JSON file that corresponds to your singleplayer world or multiplayer server.

3. Open the file using any standard text editor.

4. Modify the waypoint coordinates, names, profiles, or ARGB color values as needed, making sure to keep the JSON formatting valid.

5. Save the file and reload your waypoints in-game for the changes to take effect immediately.

Backing Up or Transferring Server Data

If a multiplayer server updates its IP address or you move to a new computer, you do not have to lose your saved bases and mines. Simply copy the JSON file for that server from your old folder into the new one, or rename the file to match the new world or server name.
