World Remembers Dear Diary
by sad_east
World Remembers Dear Diary gives each player a personal travel diary in which discoveries, deaths, victories and quiet moments are recorded as short notes.
What it does
Players write their own diary entries by hand, and the mod also creates automatic memories when gameplay events happen, so the diary fills in over a playthrough. The entries read like brief travel notes, raw logs or achievement messages, and over time the diary becomes a chronicle of the world rather than a checklist.
The diary is presented as a book-style interface. Entries can be marked as favorites, filtered, sorted and searched, and long playthroughs are split into journey chapters. Selected memories can be shared to chat, and remembered places keep clickable coordinates. A small in-game notification appears when a new memory is added.
The mod is available for 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, with 1.0.1 as the latest file for both loaders, released 2026-05-16. The server and every player need the mod installed. The code is under the MIT License and is open source. Automatic memories can be configured or disabled, which lets modpack authors and server owners decide how active the diary is.
Key features
Book-style diary screen
The diary opens as a book-style interface with favorites, filters, sorting and search for finding past entries.
Automatic memories
Events during play, including first discoveries, risky fights, odd locations, uncommon finds and player-versus-player wins, get logged with no action from the player.
Journey chapters
Long playthroughs are grouped into chapters, so the diary keeps its order across many sessions.
Shared memories and coordinates
Selected memories can be posted to chat, and remembered places keep clickable coordinates for returning later.
