Build Notes Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I make my first note with Build Notes?
Open the mod menu and create a new note, or start a build tracker entry if you're logging a project. Choose a scope when you set it up: World for the current save, Global for every save, or Server for a multiplayer project.
How do I keep my material list on screen while I build?
Write your checklist in a note, then pin it. Pinned notes appear on your HUD, so you can check materials and coordinates during normal play without opening any menu.
Why did my pinned note disappear from the screen?
The overlay hides itself automatically when you press F1, open a debug screen, or enter a game menu. Turn off F1 mode or close the menu or debug screen and it comes back.
How do I move or resize the pinned note on my HUD?
Open the mod's client config file, where you can change the HUD position, size and border padding. Adjust them until the note no longer covers your hotbar or anything else you need to see.
Why can't I see my notes when I open a different world?
That note was probably saved with World scope, which keeps it tied to a single save. Use Global scope for notes you want available in every world.
My friends can't edit our shared server notes. How do I fix that?
A server operator can give a player editing rights with /buildnotes allow . Alternatively, /buildnotes allow_all toggles whether everyone on the server can edit notes.
How do I check who can edit notes on my server, or take someone's access away?
Run /buildnotes list to see every player who is allowed to edit server notes. Use /buildnotes disallow to remove someone's editing rights.
Can I save screenshots and coordinates for a build?
Yes. Build profiles track the project name, dimensions, coordinates and designer credits. You can also attach a screenshot gallery to each entry and share it with other players on the server.
Can I track things like farm output or redstone parts?
Yes. Build entries support custom text fields, so you can record farm output rates, redstone components, material counts or anything else you want to track.
Is there undo if I mess up while typing a note?
Yes. The built-in text editor has undo and redo, along with word selection and keyboard navigation shortcuts, so you can fix mistakes without retyping.
