  • Automatic distribution to new players
  • Server-side implementation for multiplayer compatibility
  • Customizable content through configuration
  • Real-time preview system for journal formatting

The mod can be configured through files in the config/travelers-journal/ directory:

Basic Settings (config.txt)

title=Traveler's Journal
author=Server
give_at_spawn=true
debug_logging=false
legacy_titles=Traveller's Journal,Travelers Journal

Create or edit config/travelers-journal/travelers_journal.md to set your journal's content. The mod supports standard Minecraft text formatting:

  • Markdown-style formatting:
    • Bold: **text**
    • Italic: *text*
    • Underline: _text_
    • Color codes: <color>text<> where color is one of:
      • black, dark_blue, dark_green, dark_aqua

Preview Your Journal

After installing the mod, you can preview how your journal will look in-game:

  1. Navigate to config/travelers-journal/preview/
  2. Open index.html in your web browser
  3. Edit your journal content in the left panel
  4. See a real-time preview on the right

This makes it easy to format and test your journal content before players see it in-game!
