Diary Mod – Leave Your Mark in the World of Minecraft
Diary Mod introduces a comprehensive diary-keeping system to Minecraft that enables you to read, collect, display, and craft beautifully designed entries. Whether you're chronicling your adventures, writing serial novels, or decorating pages with charming illustrations – this mod makes it all straightforward and engaging.
🎮 Key Gameplay Features
Realistic Reading Interface Right-click on a "Diary Paper" or "Diary" item to open a book-style interface. Flip through pages and click the "Done" button for an immersive reading experience.
Diverse Page and Cover Styles
Each Diary Paper item in your inventory is assigned a random CustomModelData value (1–3), giving it a unique appearance – from aged parchment with writing to kawaii scrapbook covered in stickers. Diary covers also come in various styles, making your diary truly one-of-a-kind.
Unlimited Volumes and Chapters A single diary can consist of multiple Diary Paper pages. When you reach the last page of one volume, it automatically opens the next, maintaining clear chapter organization. You can title each volume and write subtitles or dates on the cover page, adding special charm to your story.
Creative Mode Integration In Creative Mode, all registered pages and diaries are neatly listed in the "Diary" tab – making it easier for server admins and map creators to preview, select, and test content.
Fully Customizable Content via Data Everything – from page text to book titles and chapter order – is controlled by JSON files in the resource pack. You don't need to write a single line of code to provide players with entirely new diary themes:
- Adventure Logs: Record your fortress raids or End explorations
- Creature Encyclopedias: Document fantastic beings with sketches and notes
- Story Integration: Connect custom quests and dialogues through immersive diary entries
