The world remembers your deaths. Grief Skulls mark every place you fell, upgrading to Obelisks after 7 in-game days. Craft Memory Shards into exploration tools and watch your Wanderlust bar fill as you discover new chunks.
Centers around fantasy elements such as spells, rituals, and magical energies, often involving personal empowerment and magical automation.

- Fixed direction arrows now pointing correctly from player to location for both Memory Orb recall and Grief Map entries. Fixed Memory Orb named label display when using a custom-named orb.
The Cartographer's Grief
The world remembers your deaths.
Every time you die, a glowing Grief Skull block is placed at your exact death location. Right-click it to read who died there and how. After 7 in-game days (168,000 ticks), it silently upgrades into a taller, brighter Obelisk — a permanent monument to that moment.
Break a Grief Skull to collect Memory Shards, the currency of this mod.
Items
Memory Shard — drops from Grief Skulls and Obelisks. Used in all crafting recipes.
Memory Orb (Memory Shard + Ender Pearl) — right-click once to save your current position. Right-click again anywhere to see the exact coordinates and distance back. Works across dimensions with a warning.
Wanderer's Compass (Compass + 4 Memory Shards) — points toward the nearest uncharted structure: villages, ruins, outposts, shipwrecks, and more. Prints the direction and distance in chat.
Wanderlust HUD
A slim bar at the top of your screen fills as you explore new chunks, up to 500 unique chunks tracked. It pulses with a soft glow when full. Persisted per world and server.
Required on both sides
This mod registers custom blocks and world data, so both client and server need it installed.
