Flashback Settings - Missing settings for Flashback mod

MOD

Adds configurable replay save folder and anonymous telemetry opt-out for Flashback mod.

Flashback Settings is a small Fabric client mod that addresses a common limitation of Moulberry's Flashback mod: the inability to choose where replays are saved. By default, Flashback stores all replay files inside the .minecraft directory, which can quickly fill up your main drive or make it inconvenient to move recordings to a dedicated editing SSD or network share. This mod gives you control over that folder, allowing you to redirect replays to any path you choose.

It is designed for Minecraft players who record gameplay with Flashback and need a more flexible storage setup—whether to free up space on the system drive, keep recordings on a separate disk for faster read/write speeds, or simply organise files across multiple projects. The mod also includes optional anonymous telemetry, enabled by default in the EU region, to help the developer understand adoption and version distribution. Telemetry can be disabled entirely via config file, JVM flag, or by setting telemetry to false in the generated JSON.

  • Change replay folder location – Set any absolute path (e.g., D:/Replays/Minecraft) in the config file to move replays outside the default .minecraft/flashback/replays folder.
  • Simple JSON configuration – After launching the game once, edit config/flashbacksettings.json to set your desired folder path. Leave it empty to keep Flashback's default behaviour.
  • Anonymous telemetry opt-out – Usage statistics are on by default; turn them off via telemetry: false in the config, or the JVM argument -Dflashbacksettings.telemetry=false.
  • Non‑intrusive Mixin – The mod intercepts only the replay folder method, leaving all other Flashback functionality untouched.
  • Future in‑game config planned – A GUI menu is under consideration to avoid manual JSON editing.

Requirements: Fabric Loader, Flashback mod (Fabric only), and Minecraft 1.21.11 (26.1.x support coming soon). Flashback Settings does not work without Flashback and is not compatible with Forge or NeoForge. The mod is in early development; only the replay folder feature is currently available.
