Choose Where Your Notes Are Saved: World, Global or Server

Every note and build entry in Build Notes Mod has a scope. The scope controls where it is saved and who can see it. Picking the right one up front saves you from hunting for a note later.

What each scope is for

  • World saves the note locally with one specific world. Use it for things that only matter in that save, such as base coordinates or a to-do list for a survival world.
  • Global saves the note across all your saves. Use it for anything you want in every world, such as a general block palette, a favorite farm layout or a personal checklist of builds to try.
  • Server stores the note on a multiplayer server so other players can see it. Use it for group projects, shared coordinate logs and team material lists. Editing is controlled by the server's permission settings.

Picking a scope in practice

1. Open the mod menu and create a note or build entry.

2. Ask yourself whether you need the note outside this world:

  • Yes, in all your worlds: choose Global.
  • Yes, for other players: choose Server.
  • No: choose World.

3. If you choose Server and can't edit the note, ask an operator to grant access with /buildnotes allow <player>.

A note you can't find in one world was probably saved with the World scope in a different save. Load that save to get it back.
