About this Mod
Away Digest
Log back in and find out what you missed — how long you were gone, and which advancements the other players earned while you were away.
A small "the world kept living without you" recap helps a long-running SMP feel alive after the opening burst fades. It greets you on login; there's no command and nothing to set up.
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"
It tracks each player's logout time and a rolling list of earned advancements, and persists across restarts. It's built for multiplayer — single-player just shows the away-time greeting. The mod's own text is localized in 9 languages; each advancement title is shown in the language it was earned in (captured as text at the time), not the reader's. A busy server keeps roughly the last 500 advancements, and the wording says "at least N" rather than overclaiming completeness.
