Manage, back up, and export worlds

Each instance stores its own worlds. Back up before updating modpacks, removing mods, or trying another Minecraft version.

Create a backup

1. Close Minecraft and wait for its process to finish.
2. Open the instance and select Worlds.
3. Find the world.
4. Open its actions and choose Backup.
5. Wait for confirmation before closing Tegra.

Use Export to keep a copy outside the launcher or move a world to another computer. Choose a safe folder and do not modify the archive while it is being created.

Restore safely

Preserve the current state before replacing a world. Use a destination instance with the same content that created its blocks and data.

Danger

Opening a modded world without required mods can remove blocks and entities. Cancel missing-content warnings and repair the instance first.

Deletion is permanent. Check the world name, date, and size, then create a backup before confirming.

Keep at least one copy outside the instance, include the date and modpack version in backup names, and occasionally verify that a backup can be opened.
