SimpleNotes
by izzie-d
SimpleNotes is a small Fabric client mod that keeps notes, checklists and reminders inside the game, saved in a plain JSON file on the player's own computer.
What it does
Notes are kept in categories such as projects, SMP or resources, and each entry can be plain text, a task with a checklist, or a reminder. Looking up a note takes a single query, which checks titles, the body text, categories, priorities and task text, so no one has to scroll through the full list to locate an entry.
A note can be pinned to a HUD view that stays visible during play, so a player can track a few tasks or material counts without leaving the world. Everything is saved locally to the current Minecraft instance, in a file that can be backed up, moved to another directory or edited by hand. The mod requires Fabric API and runs on the client only, so servers need nothing installed.
The notes and reminders use a server account, cloud sync and an internet connection, which the author text lists as required, while the stored notes themselves stay on the local machine. Files target game version 26.1.2 only, with 1.0.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest Fabric build, released 2026-06-16 under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places the code in the public domain and is open source with its source code published.
Key features
Categorized notes
Notes sort into categories like projects, SMP and resources, with plain text, checklist tasks and reminders as entry types.
Pinned HUD view
Chosen notes appear on the HUD during play. The position is set in an edit screen with a button, by dragging a preview, or by typing exact X/Y coordinates.
Item tracker lines
A tracked item line counts matching items in the player inventory, turns gold when the target count is reached, and autocompletes item IDs with TAB.
Timed local reminders
A reminder can fire once or repeat at a set hour, minute and second, with optional sound and game messages, and can be snoozed by a chosen amount.
Plain JSON storage
Every note is written to a JSON file that can be edited manually, copied for backup or moved to another directory.
