Ingot

Ingot

Ingot is an experimental mod that adds new world save system for Minecraft.
It replaces Anvil Region files with Ingot Region files for new worlds.

⚛️ Features

• Saves blocks, entities and POIs in .ir region files.
• Compresses chunk data with Zstandard.
• Compacts regions in the background to delete unused records and make chunks smaller.

New worlds use automatically Ingot storage system.
Worlds that already contain Anvil .mca or .mcc region data continue to use Anvil.
Ingot refuses to mix the two formats and does not currently convert existing worlds between those two formats.

💾 Storage

Ingot keeps the normal Minecraft world layout and stores each region in an ingot subdirectory.
Other world files, including level.dat and player data, stay the same.
Dimensions added by other mods keep their normal directory paths.
Worlds containing .ir files need Ingot to load those chunks.
Minecraft and external tools that expect .mca files cannot read Ingot regions.
