Chronicle Reminders
Minecraft is a game of endless projects, from sprawling farms to intricate redstone contraptions. The biggest challenge isn't building these wonders; it's remembering to check on them. You log off, promising to harvest the wheat when it's ready, only to return hours later to a field of withered crops. This is where Chronicle Reminders steps in, transforming your game with a complete, client-side reminder system that feels like a native part of Minecraft.
What is Chronicle Reminders?
Chronicle Reminders is a powerful mod designed to keep you informed without breaking your immersion. It's a fully-featured notification system that lives entirely on your client. This means it works flawlessly in both singleplayer and multiplayer, without requiring any server-side installation. Whether you're playing on the latest release or a specific modded version, Chronicle Reminders for Minecraft supports a wide range of Minecraft versions and is compatible with the Forge and NeoForge loaders, ensuring a smooth integration into your existing setup.
Setting Up Recurring Schedules
The core of Chronicle Reminders is its flexible scheduling system. Forget about setting timers on your phone or writing notes. With Chronicle, you can create reminders that trigger exactly when you need them.
Daily, Weekly, and Custom Intervals
- Daily Reminders: Perfect for recurring events, like checking your bee farm or enchanting new gear at the start of each Minecraft day.
- Weekly Schedules: Set reminders for specific days of the week with multiple selectable days, ideal for real-world events you want to remember while playing.
- Custom Intervals: Need a nudge every 30 minutes to stretch or organize your chests? Set custom repeating notifications for any time frame.
You can enable, disable, edit, or remove any reminder at any time. The system also lets you test reminders instantly before relying on them, and you can choose to keep, disable, or remove supported reminders after they trigger, keeping your list clean and relevant.
Condition-Based "When Then" Rules
Beyond simple schedules, Chronicle Reminders introduces a brilliant rule engine. Create condition-based reminders without writing a single command or editing a configuration file. These rules are triggered when a specific in-game condition changes from false to true, keeping them quiet while the condition is active and automatically re-arming them afterward.
Examples of What You Can Track
- When your health falls below a selected percentage.
- When your hunger reaches a critical level.
- When your remaining air supply becomes low while underwater.
- When your inventory becomes full.
- When the held item's durability becomes low.
- When you enter a specific dimension or a configurable X/Z area.
The Watch Feature: Track Blocks and Mobs
One of the most unique and useful features is the ability to watch specific targets. Simply aim at a supported block or baby mob and press R. Chronicle Reminders will remember the target and notify you when it becomes ready. This supports a wide variety of blocks and entities:
- Crops reaching full growth.
- Beehives and bee nests filling with honey.
- Cauldrons becoming full and Composters becoming ready.
- Cave vines growing berries.
- Furnaces, smokers, and blast furnaces stopping their smelting process.
- Copper reaching full oxidation.
- Baby mobs growing into adults.
Press R on the same target again to stop watching it. The dedicated Watches screen shows every active target in the current world, including its dimension and coordinates. These watches are stored separately for each world or server and survive restarts. Chronicle never guesses remote state; unloaded targets remain pending and are checked again when Minecraft sends their state to the client.
History and Placeholders
Chronicle keeps a local history of real reminder outcomes. You can filter history by status, review timestamps and snooze durations, and clear it with explicit confirmation. The history stores the newest 500 entries, and test or preview notifications are never included. Furthermore, reminder messages can automatically include dynamic information from your current game using placeholders like {world}, {coords}, {biome}, and {dimension}. Text Placeholder API integration is also supported, allowing compatible mods to provide additional dynamic values. For a hassle-free setup, many players use the foxygame.net launcher, which features a one-click install for add-ons like Chronicle Reminders, ensuring you get the correct version for your Minecraft client without manual configuration.
Customizing Your Notifications
Chronicle Reminders includes a powerful Notification Customizer with an instant live preview. You can choose between Modern Chronicle notifications or Native Vanilla notifications, and select from Minimal, Neon, Glass, and Matrix visual themes. Customize everything from the title, message, and icon color to the background, border, and accent colors. You can even use custom PNG or JPG backgrounds and custom notification sounds (MP3, OGG, WAV, AIFF, AU). Modern notifications can include clickable actions like Snooze for 5 to 60 minutes or Dismiss, while Vanilla notifications always preserve their native action-free layout.
How to Install Chronicle Reminders
Getting started is simple. To download Chronicle Reminders, visit the official CurseForge or Modrinth page and grab the file for your specific Minecraft version and mod loader. To install it, simply drop the downloaded JAR file into your mods folder. After launching the game, press J to open the main Chronicle interface. All key bindings are configurable through Minecraft Controls, and the interface is fully usable at the smallest logical GUI sizes. The mod is available in English, German, Spanish, Russian, and Simplified Chinese, and requires no manual configuration-file editing.
Chronicle Reminders turns a simple concept into something useful, flexible, powerful, and pleasant to use. It's an essential tool for any player who wants to optimize their time and never miss a crucial in-game event again. Whether you are a redstone engineer, a farmer, or an explorer, this mod ensures you are always in the know, making your Minecraft experience more efficient and enjoyable. For those looking for a streamlined experience, the foxygame.net launcher's add-on catalog includes Chronicle Reminders, offering auto-updates and version compatibility checks so you can focus on playing rather than managing files.
