Backup 💾

Easy NPC keeps automatic backup files for active NPCs as a small safety net. This is helpful for quick recovery, but it should not replace normal world backups.

What Gets Backed Up 📦

  • loaded NPCs
  • their current saved NPC data
  • regular snapshots over time

NPCs that are not currently loaded are not included until they become active again.

Backup Location 📁

Backups are stored under:

easy_npc/backup/YYYY-MM-DD/YYYY-MM-DD_UUID.backup.npc.nbt

Recommended Usage 💡

Use Easy NPC backups for:

  • quick inspection of recent NPC states
  • small recovery tasks
  • checking whether a change happened recently

Still keep full backups of your:

  • world folder
  • config folder
  • modpack setup if relevant

Recovery Advice 🛠️

If an NPC was deleted or damaged:

  1. Check the normal preset/export options first
  2. Check the easy_npc/backup folder
  3. Restore from a full world backup if the problem is larger than one NPC
