How to Use the Loot Journal to Track Drops and Inventory Counts

The journal is most useful when you treat it as a running tally during farming, mining, or mob grinding.

Tracking a Farming or Mining Run

Before you start, note the counts of the items you expect to gather. As you break blocks or harvest crops, the journal logs each pickup and updates the total for that item. When you finish, compare the new totals to see exactly how much you collected in one session.

Tracking Mob Drops

Kill mobs as usual and let the drops flow into your inventory. The journal records each drop type and keeps a cumulative count, so you can quickly see which rare drop finally appeared without scrolling through your inventory slots.

Reading the Counts Correctly

• The number shown is how many of that item you currently hold, not a lifetime total.
• Storing items in chests lowers the count, since they leave your inventory.
• Stacking and splitting items does not change the total, only what is in your inventory.

Use this to decide when you have enough materials to craft or trade, and to spot when a farm has stopped producing a drop.
