This tutorial requires File Manager plugin!
Mcreator's build-in backups only backup .mcreator file, which cannot restore corrupted elements or procedures. This tutorials shows how to backup more than that file.
How does it work?
It's really simple. Every time the procedure is run, it zips chosen folder(s) or file(s) and puts the ZIP in a folder.
How to implement it?
-
Download or copy the procedure below

- Put your workspace's location in the string variable called "FileLocation" (Example:
C:\Users\luki1\MCreatorWorkspaces\visual_recipe_editor) - That's it
Result
After that, whenever your mod loads into the game, a full backup of the elements folder will be created. It should look like this:

Customization
You can:
- Make a custom time stamp or customize file's name
- Mess with a File Manager plugin and zip more files or files
- Choose a custom trigger (or connect it to a command etc., it's just a procedure)
Keep in mind that you should disable this when publishing your mod!
