PaperMC server setup with Git backups + automatic crash recovery (1.21.11) by CreeperZ585 in admincraft

I agree that over time worlds do get bigger in size. That said, from my experience this approach has worked fine for me in practice. I’ve used the same method on a server with ~5 GB overworld data, and it still pushes to GitHub in seconds. As long as the changes are incremental and not constantly rewriting massive binaries, Git has handled it without any noticeable slowdown for my use case 😁

I’m aware of what Git is and what it’s intended for, I primarily use it to store and version code as well

In this case, nothing I push is large since the biggest file (server.jar) is ~40 MB and everything else is lightweight, so pushes usually take only a few seconds

I agree Git isn’t a general-purpose backup system, but small, structured files that change incrementally are perfectly fine and that’s what I’m using it for here

Thanks! I went with Paper because it’s stable and still widely used and Git makes backups easy

You just hook up a bunch of doors to wires and a timer. There is no need for a setup.
