Away Digest
by KURONAMI
Away Digest is a server-side mod that shows players what advancements others earned while they were logged out, on login.
What it does
When a player logs in, the mod greets them with a recap of how long they were away and lists the advancements other players earned during that time. Each advancement is shown with its title in the reader's own language, since the mod's text is localized into 9 languages. Fabric API is required on Fabric, and the same recap works on Forge and NeoForge builds.
The mod keeps a rolling list of recent advancements, about the last 500 on a busy server, and that list persists across restarts. Because of that cap, the recap covers at least the most recent N advancements rather than every one ever earned. The greeting is also shown in single-player and multiplayer, so a small world keeps feeling alive after the opening burst of progress fades.
Only the server needs Away Digest. Players join without installing anything, and the mod runs with no extra setup, so a command is available if an operator wants to check the list. The mod is free to use in modpacks. Files are published for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the source code is public, but the project is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.
