# ChronoVault <\/p>\n
ChronoVault is a incremental backup mod for Minecraft worlds with deduplication and compression<\/p>\n
## Content-Addressable Storage<\/p>\n
Unlike traditional backup tools that copy entire worlds, ChronoVault uses content-addressable storage (CAS):<\/p>\n
**How It Works:**
\n– Each 512\u00d7512 chunk is hashed with BLAKE3
\n– Chunks are stored by their hash, not by filename
\n– Zstd compression is applied to each chunk individually
\n– A snapshot manifest records which chunks existed at that point in time<\/p>\n
**Storage Efficiency:**
\n– **Incremental saves** \u2014 Only modified chunks consume new storage
\n– **Cross-snapshot deduplication** \u2014 Identical chunks are stored once, shared by all snapshots
\n– **Per-world isolation** \u2014 Each world’s objects are stored separately<\/p>\n
## Features
\n– **Async backups** \u2014 Non-blocking, runs while you play
\n– **In-game GUI** \u2014 Browse and restore snapshots without leaving the game
\n– **Auto backup** \u2014 Schedule automatic snapshots
\n– **Safe restoration** \u2014 Restores to a new world; original is untouched<\/p>\n
