A field journal that builds itself as you play: every advancement you earn is recorded with the time, place, and context, then browsable in a spread-page book.
Long playthroughs blur together — you remember beating the Ender Dragon, but not that you did it on world day 47, in a swamp, in the rain. Field Notes keeps those details. Every advancement (vanilla or modded) is captured with a real-time and in-world-day timestamp, coordinates, dimension and biome, and the advancement's icon, title, description, and frame type (task / goal / challenge).
Open the journal by pressing K (rebindable — it defaults to K to avoid JourneyMap's J) or right-clicking the Field Notes item. The viewer is a spread-page book styled after Patchouli: four entries per spread, vanilla page-turn arrows, keyword search, and filter by frame type. Biome and dimension names localize to your client language.
You get the journal three ways: it's auto-granted by the "Welcome to Field Notes" advancement the first time you join, it's craftable (shapeless book + leather or book + rabbit_hide), and it's in the Tools & Utilities creative tab.
It's observation only — it never changes advancement requirements, difficulty, or rewards — and works with any mod that uses the vanilla advancement system (Twilight Forest, Botania, Apotheosis, Cobblemon, …) with no per-mod integration.
Dependencies
Install on the server and on each client — the server grants and records, the journal viewer is client-side.
