Ivan's Sticky Notes
by ivan_dog
Ivan's Sticky Notes lets players place short text notes on the in-game HUD so tasks, coordinates and craft recipes stay visible while playing.
What it does
Notes are placed in the game screen and can be customized in text and content. Once placed they stay on the HUD, which keeps current goals or reference lists in view without opening a menu or leaving the world. The mod is aimed at players who track several tasks at once and want them written down close to the play area.
Ivan's Sticky Notes is a client-side Fabric mod, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. Its published file targets 1.21.11 alone, with 0.1.0 as the latest alpha build dated 2026-06-03. The license is the MIT License, and the code is not open source in the sense of a public repository listing, so the mod's terms apply as written by its author.
The author describes the impact on performance as minimal. The mod can be installed on any Fabric setup for that version and does not add server-side content, so there is nothing to configure on a server.
Key features
Customizable HUD notes
Notes can be written with custom text and arranged on the HUD during play.
Goal and task reminders
A note can hold a current task, a goal or a list of coordinates so it remains in sight.
Crafting reference
Recipes can be written down on a note and kept on screen while crafting, without switching to another window.
Persistent visibility
Notes stay visible during play, so reminders do not need to be reopened after each action.
