PSA: Prism Launcher auto backup saves. Simple way.
# This configuration has a BIG issue, no versioning.
This is a quick way to excuse yourself from setting up proper backups with external dedicated software.
~~This is a quick thing that you could be using to save yourself from world corruption, or just rollback*.~~
Windows only (because of robocopy, but easy to adapt for Linux with `cp` or `rclone`)
In Prism Launcher > Settings > Custom Commands:
`Post-exit command: robocopy "$INST_MC_DIR\saves" "Where\to\store\backups\Saves\Minecraft\$INST_NAME" /mt /e`
$INST_MC_DIR and $INST_NAME are replace by Prism automatically.
Robocopy is a command line copy utility from Windows that has some benefits over "normal" copy.
[Copy options](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/robocopy#copy-options):
- `/mt` for multithread (probably not really a performance benefit)
- `/e` "Copies subdirectories. This option automatically includes empty directories."
This would copy your save folder every time you close the game, in theory robocopy doesn't try to copy already existing files that haven't been modified.
If the world is corrupt and you close your game it will be overwritten on the destination folder. I use a SMB share with ZFS snapshots so it already manages versioning.
In theory you could use something like powershell's Get-Date to use in the destionation folder path, but even using powershell -c Get-Date seems to crash Prism.
Other options are:
- Windows' [File History](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/backup-and-restore-with-file-history-7bf065bf-f1ea-0a78-c1cf-7dcf51cc8bfc)
- External software like syncthing or rsync.
- Make Prism execute a .ps1 that contains the full command with Get-Date like this to include the date in the folder path , but you will have to pass $INST_MC_DIR somehow.

Never played with mods - but my son wants to. Some help?
My son (7, more or less functionaly in the spectrum) was able to look some youtube unsupervised (memorized the pin of the pad). He binged rather a lot of Minecraft content, including youtubers that use mods, and now he wont stop talking about the Mutant Mod and de AVARITIA mod.
Is there an easy way to install Minecraft twice or switch Mods on and off? I don't want to play moded Minecraft alone.
Also, the AVARITA mod seems to be discontinued, is there something similiar?
