How to download the Nickland Minecraft save file to your local computer.

This process will require 11 GB of disk space. At the end of this process, you will have the following directories within your local Minecraft installation directory:

<LOCAL_MINECRAFT_DIR>
  /world         <== this is the new directory (6 GB)
  /world-backup  <== this is the old directory

Prerequisites

  1. You have started a local single-player Minecraft game previously (this creates the local world/ directory).
  2. Ensure your local Minecraft is shut down / not running.
  3. You have followed the nickland install instructions to configure your Minecraft Forge server with Minecraft 1.16.5, Forge 36.1.4, 48 mods loaded.

Local Install Instructions

  1. Download https://zabkar-minecraft.s3.amazonaws.com/world.tar.gz
  2. Expand/extract the files. (howto)
  3. Note that the expanded files reside in a world directory.
  4. Locate the directory with your local Minecraft installation.
  5. Within your local Minecraft installation, locate your old world directory.
  6. Rename the old world directory to world-backup.
  7. Copy/move the new world directory that we extracted in step 2 to become a child of your local Minecraft installation.
  8. Start Minecraft in single-player mode.
