Away Digest

Log back in and find out what you missed — how long you were gone and what the others got up to.

The "2-week server problem" — SMPs going quiet after the initial burst — is a chronic r/admincraft topic. A small "the world kept living without you" recap helps a long-running server feel alive.

• 👋 On login: how long you were away
• 🏆 The advancements other players earned while you were gone
• 💾 Persists across restarts
• 🧩 No command, no setup — it just greets you

What it does / Usage

Welcome back — you were away about 18 hour(s).
While you were away, others earned 3 advancement(s):
  Alice earned "We Need to Go Deeper"
  Bob earned "Free the End"
  Alice earned "Sky's the Limit"

Tracks each player's logout time and a rolling list of earned advancements.

Supported loaders / versions

Forge / Fabric / 1.20.1 ports planned; this release is NeoForge 1.21.1.

Dependencies

None.

Compatibility & scope

Server-side: login/logout + advancement listeners + persistent world data. No mixin, no config, no command, no blocks/items.

Known limitations

v0.1 recap = away-time + other players' advancements only (deliberately minimal). It shines on a multiplayer SMP; single-player just shows the away-time greeting (no other players to report). The mod's own messages are localized in 9 languages, but each advancement's title is shown in the server's language (captured as text when earned), not the reader's. A very busy server keeps the last ~500 advancements; a very long absence may surface only the most recent — the wording says "at least N", never overclaiming completeness.

Install

1. Install NeoForge for Minecraft 1.21.1.
2. Drop awaydigest-0.1.0.jar into mods/. Server-side.
