World Diary
by JullyRon
World Diary is a Fabric client-side utility that keeps a running record of a Minecraft journey, from first deaths to the Nether and End.
What it does
The mod writes an automatic journal for a world, logging advancements, deaths, diamond finds and progress through the Nether and End. Important moments are saved as they happen, so a player can look back at earlier stages of an adventure whenever they want. Worlds often last months or even years, and the diary turns that span into a readable history that tells the story of the save.
The diary is kept in a separate diary world rather than inside the playthrough itself, so the original save is left alone. The mod is lightweight and is described as optimized, and it runs on the client alone, so a single-player or multiplayer client can use it without any server-side install.
Files are published for Fabric only, across six game versions: 1.20.1 – 1.20.6, with 0.1.0 for 1.20.6 as the latest beta file. The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.

How it compares
Keep Command History is open source under the MIT License and runs on Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, which is a different purpose from a play journal. Command History Context is also open source under the MIT License and covers 1.21 – 1.21.11 on Fabric. Longer Command History is open source under the MIT License and covers 1.20.5 – 1.21.11 on Fabric, so it shares the 1.20.5 and 1.20.6 builds with World Diary.
