Instance packages

Export and import instances as portable Waxlight packages — share builds and move them between machines.

A Waxlight package is an instance archive you can hand to another user or import on another computer. It contains the instance’s files: mods, configs, settings — everything needed to reproduce the build.

On export, the package is automatically sanitized. Excluded from it:

  • sessionkey, sessionsignature, playeruid, and playername from clientsettings.json;
  • MP tokens, passwords, credential-store secrets, authentication tokens;
  • other account- and machine-specific settings.

When importing a package, Waxlight unpacks the instance into the library. After import, select an account for the instance and, if needed, a game version — and you are ready to play.
