InventoryBackups

Say goodbye to losing items forever! A Minecraft server modification that automatically creates backup copies of player inventories and ender chests.

Overview

InventoryBackups is a powerful server-side mod that regularly saves the contents of player inventories and ender chests. Backup occurs on a schedule and during key moments (death, login/logout from the game). Administrators can easily view previous states, restore them, or copy items using simple commands and a convenient chat interface. Works with both active and inactive players! Excellent for:

• 🛡️ Server Protection - Recovery after crashes, errors, or rollbacks
• 👮 Administration - Investigation of duplication suspicions or item disappearances
• 🔧 Player Support - Assistance when losing items due to technical issues
• 📊 Activity Analysis - Tracking changes in inventories over time
• 🎯 Real-time Inspection - Viewing and editing live player inventories
