📖 About:
Delete Worlds To Trash makes it so that when deleting a Minecraft world it is moved to the recycle bin/trash instead of being nuked out of existence. Gives you a chance to reconsider, and after all you never know when it might come in handy later on!

💡 FAQ:
Q: Does this support all operating systems?
A: Moving an item to the recycle bin/trash varies a lot between operating systems, so this is indeed not guaranteed to work on all systems. This mod has been tested to work on Windows and Mac. Other Gnome based Unix systems should work, too (1.18+ only). If your Linux system is not supported, running apt-get install libgnome2-0 in terminal for installing the necessary components might just do the trick. If your system is not supported, worlds will be deleted using the vanilla method, meaning they're gone forever.
Q: How can I tell whether my operating system is supported?
A: The delete world screen will tell you! If it gives you the option to move a world to the recycle bin/trash everything is supported. If you only see the vanilla delete world screen you're out of luck unfortunately.
