World Remembers Living Legends
by sad_east
Living Legends watches a Minecraft world for moments that matter and records them as named places, such as battlefields, death sites, boss arenas and pet memorials.
What it does
Instead of acting as a plain waypoint mod, World Remembers Living Legends turns important events into persistent named places. A cave where players repeatedly die can turn into a grim death site, a battlefield can be given its own name, and the spot where a boss was defeated can become a legendary site. Strange biome portals and first discoveries also become part of the world's history.
Each new place is announced in chat with an atmospheric lore-style notification, and discovered places can show a cinematic title when a player enters them. The World Journal item lets players browse remembered locations in a GUI, and places can be shown on supported map mods. The mod is built for survival worlds, SMP servers, adventure maps and modpacks, where the world slowly becomes its own legend. Names follow a naming style chosen in the mod config; changing it takes effect after a reload or server restart, and places that already exist keep their current names.
Living Legends is open source under the MIT License and requires Fabric or NeoForge. Files are published for 1.21.1 only, with 1.1.0 as the latest build for both loaders, and the mod runs on client and server.

How it compares
Unsuspicious Block is client and server, open source under the MIT License, and built for 1.21.1 on Fabric and NeoForge, so it shares the same loaders and version. Death Journal is client-side only and is published for Fabric only on 1.21.1, so it needs no server install but does not cover NeoForge. Lore Keeper covers Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
