A Java application that acts as a proxy between a Minecraft client and server to intercept and save chunk data, allowing players to download multiplayer worlds. It can also replay saved chunks to the client to extend render distance beyond server limits.
Use cases
- download a multiplayer Minecraft world by walking around it
- extend my client's render distance beyond the server's limit
- save chest and inventory contents while exploring a server
- merge new world downloads into previously saved worlds
- view a map of which chunks have been downloaded
- run the downloader headless from the command line
When to choose
- you want to archive or back up a multiplayer world without server access
- you need a client-agnostic solution that works with vanilla or modded clients
- you want to see farther than the server's view distance allows
- you need cross-platform support via a plain Java jar
When to avoid
- you only play single-player worlds (no need for a proxy)
- the server actively blocks or prohibits world downloading
- you cannot run Java 21 or newer
- you need to download chunks in areas you cannot physically visit in-game
