Wicklen: Chronicles 0.4.3

Wicklen: Chronicles 0.4.3

Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1, Java 25.

• A cloth wanderer spirit: ivory hood, dark face, glowing persona-colored eyes,
  teal patches, a layered cloak and two animated ribbons. The speech portrait matches.
• Two sliders in Journal → Settings position spirit speech horizontally and
  vertically. Values are saved on this client; existing settings keep the lower-left
  position. Reset restores the original placement. The card stays above the hotbar
  and the settings window fits small viewports.
• Manual conversations can explain vanilla mechanics using ten bundled reference
  topics and recipe data from the running server. Follow-up questions retain context;
  unknown world locations and unverified mod mechanics are not invented.

Install the same Chronicles version on client and server. Existing worlds and local
presentation preferences are retained. No world migration or new required mod dependency
is introduced. Game help uses the existing configured LLM provider; it is not an offline
encyclopedia and does not yet include third-party mod documentation.

Published player and source JARs and SHA256SUMS.txt are built by the release workflow.

Wicklen: Chronicles 0.4.2

A quieter companion and a more comfortable atlas

• Adjust journal scale (65–115%) and speech-card scale (65–125%); both default to 85%.
• Set speech opacity (25–100%), hide speech cards, or disable automatic remarks independently of manual conversations.
• Choose a minimum automatic-remark interval of 2–30 minutes, default 10 minutes. Remarks need a fresh personal or world event.
• Remove achievement statistics, congratulatory spam and random idle remarks.
• Drag the atlas with the left mouse button and zoom around the pointer with the wheel. Marker selection and keyboard controls remain available.

Open G → the sliders icon to change these settings. Visual preferences stay
on your computer; the automatic-speech preference and interval persist per player
in the world. Panning does not reveal unknown terrain.

Install or update

Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1+, Fabric API (tested with
0.165.0+26.3) and Java 25. Put wicklen-chronicles-0.4.2.jar in mods/ on
both client and server, replacing the older Chronicles JAR. The -sources.jar
is for developers. Keep existing world data and personal settings.

Gateway of Doom remains optional for courtyard battles. An LLM provider is
configured separately on the server; API keys and private configuration are not
included in release assets.

This JAR matches Chronicles in the published Wicklen pack 0.4.2. Download the
complete pack from wicklen.link when joining
that server. Each release includes SHA256SUMS.txt for its two JAR files.

Wicklen: Chronicles 0.4.1

Follow your next discovery

• Follow a known place or expedition with direction/distance hints, a dotted map route and nearby Waylight sparks.
• Recognize visible registered structures from other mods without revealing hidden or unloaded places.
• Give spirit conversations context from personal journeys, named discoveries and recent outcomes.
• Use a more compact field map and clearer guidance toward the next step.

Install or update

Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1+, Fabric API (tested with
0.165.0+26.3) and Java 25. Replace the previous Chronicles JAR with
wicklen-chronicles-0.4.1.jar on both client and server. The -sources.jar is for
developers. Keep world data, personal settings and other mods in place.

Gateway of Doom is optional for courtyard battles. LLM conversations use a
separately configured server-side provider.

This historical release has been superseded by 0.4.2. Guidance shows a bearing;
it does not expose unexplored terrain or promise a safe path. This is the mod,
not the complete Wicklen modpack.

Source commit: 88a50087ce1cc712d524a17655f7fb565020e5f6.

Wicklen: Chronicles 0.4.0

Personal field atlas

• Give discoveries personal names and notes while preserving their original species or place.
• Chart real surface terrain as you travel, with personal markers and fog over unexplored areas.
• Start First Light, a short expedition with a survey or courtyard-trial approach and explicitly claimed supplies.
• Record meaningful repeat encounters with a species in a different location.
• Read companion speech in a themed private HUD card, with the full conversation kept in the journal.

Install

Minecraft 26.3, Fabric Loader 0.20.1+, Fabric API (tested with
0.165.0+26.3) and Java 25. Install the regular wicklen-chronicles-0.4.0.jar
on both client and server. The -sources.jar is for developers.

Gateway of Doom is optional and enables courtyard battles. LLM conversations
require a separately configured server-side provider; credentials are not bundled.

This historical version is retained for reference. Use 0.4.2 for the current
Wicklen pack. Keep client/server mod versions matched and remove the older mod
JAR when replacing it. This release contains the mod, not the complete modpack.
