WhereWasI

by NokhXyr

WhereWasI keeps a running journal of a player's sessions, builds, crafts and deaths, and shows a short recap when the world is loaded again.

What it does

The client-side mod records a playthrough automatically while the game runs. It logs sessions, where time is spent, first-time item pickups, large hauls, deaths, dimension changes and advancements, scoring each entry by importance so that a first diamond ranks above the hundredth stack of cobblestone. When a world is loaded again after some time away, a resume briefing summarizes the recent journal, so no one has to remember where they left off.

The journal is built from numbers the game already keeps. Rather than tracking counts itself, the mod sends the request the vanilla Statistics screen already sends and reads the answer, so blocks mined, mobs killed and distance travelled match the figures the server keeps. Because it only reads existing data, it changes nothing about blocks, items, recipes or commands, and servers cannot tell it is installed. Entries stay on the player's own disk as plain JSON that can be removed at any time.

WhereWasI is for NeoForge 1.21.1 only and is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Its public source code is available, while the mod itself is distributed under those terms. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Key features

  1. Automatic playthrough journal

    Sessions, builds, crafts, deaths and milestones are logged without any buttons or manual notes.

  2. Resume briefing

    When a world is loaded after time away, a short recap of recent activity is shown before play continues.

  3. Importance scoring

    Each journal entry is ranked by significance, so major events stand out from routine repetition.

  4. Statistics-based counts

    Numbers for mining, mob kills and travel come from the same data the vanilla Statistics screen reads.

  5. Local, removable data

    Journal entries are stored as plain JSON on the player's own disk and can be deleted at any point.

What the author says

Never ask "where was I?" again. This client-side mod auto-journals your playthrough — sessions, deaths, milestones, zones — and greets you with a recap when you log back in. Works on any server, nothing to install server-side. Maybe it's a 400-mod kitchen-sink pack and you can't remember which of your six half-built…
