It is always a good idea to backup your Minecraft worlds on a regular basis, especially as mojang have been adding more generation to Minecraft, like the Minecraft 1.16 Nether Update and Minecraft 1.17 Caves and Cliffs Update.
How To Back Up Your Minecraft World?
You can either manually backup your Minecraft worlds or you can let Minecraft Java do the heavy lifting for you!
You may also want to backup your Minecraft world if you are planning to reset the Nether in your Minecraft Java world before venturing into the new Minecraft 1.16 Nether Biomes.
All Minecraft backups are manual and they will take some time depending on the size of your Minecraft world:
Open Minecraft
Select Singleplayer
Select the Minecraft world you would like to backup and select Edit
The select Backup (the backup may take longer depending on the size of your Minecraft world).
If you want to view all of your Minecraft world backups, you can select Open Backups Folder.
Restoring Your Minecraft World
You may also want to restore old Minecraft worlds you have backed up previously or restore Minecraft worlds that you haven't played in for years for a quick nostalgia trip (do you remember your first night in a Minecraft world?).
Unfortunately you cannot restore world within Minecraft Java itself; so you'll have to do it manually but it is still quite easy to do:
- Open Finder
- Go to your Home folder and select Library
- Open the Appliction Support folder
- Open your Minecraft folder and then open your Backups folder.
- Copy the Minecraft world .zip folder you want to restore and then paste into your Saves folder.
- Right-click or double-click your .zip file to open it as a folder and then delete the .zip folder
- Open Minecraft, select Single Player and you should see your restored Minecraft world in your world list.
