an SQLite database

Genius! Why bother importing and exporting

Minetest (an open-source Minecraft-like game) uses SQLite to save worlds.

Mineclone2 is an absolute masterpiece of a game for Minetest IMO

I prefer games that embrace the difference from Minecraft instead of trying to emulate it. My favorite is MeseCraft.

So does Scrap Mechanic (sandbox game that's basically Space Engineers on the ground -- or, more loosely, Minecraft but with physics and you can build cars) also uses sqlite to save worlds. It also uses uncompressed JSON files to store user creations.

It used to use project folders, but due to confusion/user error was changed in 3.0.
