JourneyBeyond

The JourneyBeyond mod brings Terraria's Journey Mode concept to Minecraft, offering a system of research and item duplication, permanent unlocks, and datapack-configurable requirements. Perfect for builders, testers, and progression servers that need controlled access to creative features.

🚀 Key Features

Commands

• /journey on — activates journey mode
• /journey off — deactivates journey mode
• /journey ui — opens the interface via command line

🔬 Research and Unlocking

• Sacrifice items in the Journey Table to unlock them for infinite duplication.
• Each item has a research requirement — sacrifice enough copies to unlock it permanently.
• Rare or unique items (e.g., Dragon Egg) require only 1 copy.
• Requirements are fully customizable via datapacks.

♾ Duplication

• After unlocking, simply click on an item in the Duplication Panel to instantly get a full stack.
• Items go directly into your inventory or drop nearby if space is full.
• Works in both singleplayer and multiplayer.

🖥 Journey Table Interface

• Clean Minecraft-style interface.
• Sacrifice slot on the left, Duplication Grid on the right.
• Search bar to filter unlocked items.
• Colored slot backgrounds for easy distinction between sacrifice, duplication, and inventory areas.

💾 Progress Saving

• All unlocks are saved in world files (<world>/data/journey_data.dat).
• Data is automatically saved when: unlocking a new item, logging out, world/server saving.
• Seamless multiplayer operation — all players share the same unlocks (per-world progression).

📂 Datapack Configuration

JourneyBeyond supports customizable research requirements via datapacks, allowing control over how many copies of each item are needed for unlocking.

File Location

data/<namespace>/journey_research/<item>.json

Example for minecraft:diamond:

{
  "item": "minecraft:diamond",
  "required": 64
}

Special Settings

• required: 0 — completely disables unlocking for that item.
• required: 1 — recommended for unique/rare items (e.g., Elytra, Dragon Egg).
• If an item has no datapack entry, the mod uses its default requirement.
• You can override requirements for vanilla and modded items via datapacks.

Installing a Datapack

1. Create a datapack in your world or server's datapacks/ folder.
2. Follow standard Minecraft datapack structure:

   datapacks/
   my_journey_settings/
    pack.mcmeta
    data/
      mypack/
        journey_research/
          minecraft_diamond.json

3. Reload with /reload or restart the world.
