Memento – Natural Renewal

Memento helps existing Minecraft worlds evolve safely over time.

It allows abandoned terrain to renew naturally, while protecting places that still matter.
Nothing happens near active players. Nothing is forced.

The system is conservative, explainable, and server-friendly.

---

When this mod is useful

Memento is especially helpful for:

• Old worlds created in earlier Minecraft versions
• Over-mined regions that should reset deliberately
• Changed world-generation mods, where new terrain should appear closer to home

Instead of pushing players farther outward, the world itself can make room.

---

How it works (in short)

Memento analyzes region files directly instead of loading thousands of chunks in-game.
This keeps server impact low — even on very large worlds.

Renewal only happens when:

• The area is inactive
• No players are nearby
• Chunks unload naturally

If nothing happens, the system explains why.

Quick Start

You do not need to memorize command options.
Auto-completion guides you once you know the basic flow.

---

1️⃣ Allow renewal in an area

Stand where renewal should be allowed:

/memento add witherstone mystone

This marks the surrounding area as allowed to renew once it becomes inactive.

You can adjust maturity later if needed:

/memento alter witherstone mystone daysToMaturity 0

Useful for testing.

---

2️⃣ Check why renewal is not happening

/memento inspect mystone

The system explains what it is waiting for — for example:

• The stone has not matured
• Players are still inside affected chunks
• Chunks are still loaded

---

3️⃣ Let the area unload

Renewal only happens when chunks unload naturally.

To allow that:

• Leave the area
• Ask players to move away
• Log out
• Restart the server (optional)

Nothing is forced. Renewal waits until the world is quiet.

---

4️⃣ Protect important places

/memento add lorestone mybase

Prevents renewal inside that area.
Remove it later with:

/memento remove mybase

---

5️⃣ Visualize the area of effect

/memento visualize mystone

Shows temporary particle effects marking the exact area influenced by the stone.

Use this to:

• Confirm placement
• See the radius clearly
• Demonstrate boundaries to players

Visualization does not change terrain — it only shows influence.

---

What to expect

• Renewal is not immediate
• Nothing changes while players are nearby
• No mass chunk loading during analysis
• The server remains authoritative

Memento is intentionally cautious.
If nothing happens, it will explain why.

---

Safety & Compatibility

• Server-side only
• Vanilla clients compatible
• No forced chunk unloads
• No partial regeneration
• Compatible with world-generation mods
