📖 Introduction

Ephemeral Traces is a chronicle that quietly tallies your deaths, your kills, and your time alive.
Every fall is a footprint left in the sand; every battle, an echo of your will; every second, a stroke in the canvas of your journey.
This mod logs your death count, hostile kills, and total survival time, then presents them in a clean leaderboard – for you to compare, reflect, and remember.
Because numbers are never just numbers; they are the traces you leave behind in a world that remembers.

✨ Core Features

  • Three tracked stats: Deaths, hostile kills, and survival time (resets after each death).
  • Weighted leaderboard – death (50%) + survival (30%) + kills (20%), normalised and combined into a single score.
  • Top‑3 titles with coloured prefixes – gold / silver / bronze – displayed on nameplates, in chat, and in the tab list; prestige visible everywhere.
  • Smart hostile detection – not just vanilla monsters; any mob currently attacking you or your pet counts as hostile (modpack‑friendly).
  • Pet credit – kills made by your tamed wolves, cats, parrots (and modded pets) are credited to you, even when you are offline.
  • World‑persistent storage – all data saved per world, survives game restarts.
  • Tab Leaderboard UI – view the leaderboard directly in the player list (Tab screen).
  • Bottom-left Rank HUD – real-time display of your current rank and key stats in the bottom-left corner.
  • H key toggle – press H to show/hide the bottom-left rank HUD.
  • Ephemeral Journal – a book-style item. Right-click to open a vanilla-style book GUI showing recent player join/leave records.
  • Recent player activity log – records player name, timestamp, and whether they entered or left the server. Stored per world, up to 100 entries.
  • Pagination – the journal shows 10 records per page, with previous/next page navigation. Ephemeral Traces
  • Conflict-friendly recipe – Book + Paper + Feather, designed to avoid common vanilla recipe conflicts. Ephemeral Traces
  • No chat spam – join/leave records are shown in a clean book interface instead of flooding the chat.
  • Compatible with existing systems – the journal is an independent log feature and does not affect leaderboard stats, titles, kill/death/survival tracking, Tab UI, or HUD.

🎮 How to Use

Commands (type in chat, available to all players):

Command Effect
/etraces Show the leaderboard (top 10 by default)
/etraces leaderboard <count> Show a custom‑length leaderboard (1–100)
/etraces me Display your own rank, score, and detailed stats

Shortcuts & Items:

Key / Item Effect
Tab Open the player list and view the integrated leaderboard
H Show/hide the bottom-left real-time rank HUD
Right-click Ephemeral Journal Open the book GUI showing recent join/leave records (10 per page, paginated)

Scoring formula: Score = 0.5 × (1 - myDeaths / maxDeaths) + 0.3 × (mySurvival / maxSurvival) + 0.2 × (myKills / maxKills)

The result is multiplied by 100 and shown as a percentage with one decimal place.
Fewer deaths, longer survival, more kills → higher rank.

Top‑3 titles:

Rank Colour Title
🥇 1st Gold 「Lord of the Fleeting World」
🥈 2nd Silver 「Time Wanderer」
🥉 3rd Bronze 「Dust Walker」

Titles refresh every 5 seconds, and also update immediately on login / death – your rank changes in real‑time.

Ephemeral Traces

What counts as a "hostile kill":

  • ✅ Killed by you directly, with a bow, or thrown weapons.
  • ✅ Your pet (wolf, cat, parrot, or modded pets) kills a hostile mob – credit goes to you.
  • ✅ Hostile mobs = vanilla monsters + any creature currently attacking you or your pet.
  • ❌ PvP kills, passive mobs (cows, sheep, etc.), or pet kills on passive mobs do not count.

Survival time: Only accumulates while alive (spectator/dead pauses), resets to zero upon death, and restarts when you respawn. Displayed as X days X hours X min X sec on the leaderboard.

📦 Installation

  1. Install Minecraft 1.20.1 and Forge 47.x.
  2. Put the Ephemeral Traces JAR into your .minecraft/mods folder.
  3. Launch the game and type /etraces to see the leaderboard.

⚙️ Notes

  • Core stat tracking, titles, and the join/leave log work server-side; the Tab leaderboard UI and bottom-left rank HUD require the mod on the client.
  • The Ephemeral Journal opens a vanilla-style book GUI, so clients without the mod can still read it.
  • Titles use vanilla scoreboard teams, so clients without the mod can still see them.
  • Data is stored per world – different saves do not interfere.
