English Version
📖 Introduction
Ephemeral Traces is a chronicle that quietly tallies your deaths, your kills, and your time alive.
Every fall is a footprint left in the sand; every battle, an echo of your will; every second, a stroke in the canvas of your journey.
This mod logs your death count, hostile kills, and total survival time, then presents them in a clean leaderboard – for you to compare, reflect, and remember.
Because numbers are never just numbers; they are the traces you leave behind in a world that remembers.
✨ Core Features
- Three tracked stats: Deaths, hostile kills, and survival time (resets after each death).
- Weighted leaderboard – death (50%) + survival (30%) + kills (20%), normalised and combined into a single score.
- Top‑3 titles with coloured prefixes – gold / silver / bronze – displayed on nameplates, in chat, and in the tab list; prestige visible everywhere.
- Smart hostile detection – not just vanilla monsters; any mob currently attacking you or your pet counts as hostile (modpack‑friendly).
- Pet credit – kills made by your tamed wolves, cats, parrots (and modded pets) are credited to you, even when you are offline.
- World‑persistent storage – all data saved per world, survives game restarts.
- Tab Leaderboard UI – view the leaderboard directly in the player list (Tab screen).
- Bottom-left Rank HUD – real-time display of your current rank and key stats in the bottom-left corner.
- H key toggle – press
Hto show/hide the bottom-left rank HUD.

🎮 How to Use
Commands (type in chat, available to all players):
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/etraces |
Show the leaderboard (top 10 by default) |
/etraces leaderboard <count> |
Show a custom‑length leaderboard (1–100) |
/etraces me |
Display your own rank, score, and detailed stats |
Shortcuts:
| Key | Effect |
|---|---|
Tab |
Open the player list and view the integrated leaderboard |
H |
Show/hide the bottom-left real-time rank HUD |
Scoring formula: Score = 0.5 × (1 - myDeaths / maxDeaths) + 0.3 × (mySurvival / maxSurvival) + 0.2 × (myKills / maxKills)
The result is multiplied by 100 and shown as a percentage with one decimal place.
Fewer deaths, longer survival, more kills → higher rank.
Top‑3 titles:
| Rank | Colour | Title |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 1st | Gold | 「Lord of the Fleeting World」 |
| 🥈 2nd | Silver | 「Time Wanderer」 |
| 🥉 3rd | Bronze | 「Dust Walker」 |
Titles refresh every 5 seconds, and also update immediately on login / death – your rank changes in real‑time.

What counts as a "hostile kill":
- ✅ Killed by you directly, with a bow, or thrown weapons.
- ✅ Your pet (wolf, cat, parrot, or modded pets) kills a hostile mob – credit goes to you.
- ✅ Hostile mobs = vanilla monsters + any creature currently attacking you or your pet.
- ❌ PvP kills, passive mobs (cows, sheep, etc.), or pet kills on passive mobs do not count.
Survival time: Only accumulates while alive (spectator/dead pauses), resets to zero upon death, and restarts when you respawn. Displayed as X days X hours X min X sec on the leaderboard.
📦 Installation
- Install Minecraft 1.20.1 and Forge 47.x.
- Put
ephemeral_traces-1.1.jarinto your.minecraft/modsfolder. - Launch the game and type
/etracesto see the leaderboard.
⚙️ Notes
- The core stat tracking and titles work server-side; the new Tab leaderboard UI and bottom-left rank HUD require the mod to be installed on the client.
- Titles use vanilla scoreboard teams, so clients without the mod can still see them.
- Data is stored per world – different saves do not interfere.

📖 简介
浮生迹,是一册为你记录生死、杀戮与时光的编年史。
每一次倒下,都是尘世的一次驻足;每一场厮杀,都是存在的一声回响;每一刻流逝,都是旅途的一行注脚。
模组默默追踪你的死亡次数、击杀敌数、存活时长,并将这些数字凝成一座可随时翻阅的排行榜——既照见自己的征途,也望见他人的轨迹。
让数据不只是数据,而是你在方块世界中,活过的证据。
✨ 核心功能
- 三项数据追踪:死亡次数、击杀敌对生物数、生存时间(死亡后重置)。
- 加权排行榜:死亡 50% + 生存 30% + 杀敌 20%,归一化后综合评分排名。
- 前三名称号与配色:金 / 银 / 铜,称号常驻显示在头顶名字牌、聊天栏名字前、Tab 玩家列表——无论在哪都是身份的象征。
- 灵活敌对判定:兼容整合包,不只认原版怪物,任何正在攻击玩家或玩家宠物的生物都算数。
- 宠物记功:你驯服的狼、猫、鹦鹉(及模组宠物)击杀敌对生物,功劳记在主人名下,主人离线也照记。
- 随世界持久化:数据存进世界存档,重开游戏不丢失。
- Tab 排行榜 UI:在玩家列表(Tab 界面)中直接查看排行榜。
- 左下角排名 HUD:屏幕左下角实时显示自己的当前排名与关键数据。
- H 键快速开关:按
H随时显示/隐藏左下角排名 HUD。

🎮 使用方法
指令(聊天栏输入,所有玩家可用):
| 指令 | 作用 |

/etraces |
查看排行榜(默认前 10 名) |
/etraces leaderboard <数量> |

查看自己的名次、综合评分与详细数据 |
快捷键:
| 按键 | 作用 |
|---|---|
Tab |
打开玩家列表并查看集成排行榜 |
H |
显示/隐藏左下角实时排名 HUD |
计分规则: 评分 = 0.5 × (1 - 我的死亡 / 全场最多死亡) + 0.3 × (我的生存 / 全场最长生存) + 0.2 × (我的击杀 / 全场最多击杀)
以百分制显示(×100,保留 1 位小数)。死亡越少、生存越久、击杀越多 → 排名越高。
前三名称号:
| 名次 | 颜色 | 称号 |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 第 1 名 | 金色 | 〔浮生之主〕 |
| 🥈 第 2 名 | 银色 | 〔拾光旅人〕 |
| 🥉 第 3 名 | 铜色 | 〔踏尘行者〕 |
称号每 5 秒自动刷新,并在玩家 登录 / 死亡 时即时更新,名次变动会实时同步到头顶与聊天栏。

什么会被计入“击杀”:
- ✅ 你亲手 / 用弓箭 / 投掷武器击杀敌对生物
- ✅ 你的宠物(狼、猫、鹦鹉及模组宠物)击杀敌对生物 → 记给你
- ✅ 敌对生物 = 原版怪物 + 任何正在攻击玩家或玩家宠物的生物
- ❌ 击杀玩家(PvP)、击杀被动生物(牛、羊等)、宠物误杀被动生物
生存时间: 仅在存活状态下累加(旁观 / 死亡不计),死亡后清零、重生重新计时,排行榜中显示为「X天X小时X分X秒」。
📦 安装
- 安装 Minecraft 1.20.1 与 Forge(47.x)。
- 将
ephemeral_traces-1.1.jar放入.minecraft/mods文件夹。 - 启动游戏,输入
/etraces即可查看排行榜。
⚙️ 说明
- 核心数据追踪与称号为服务端逻辑;新增的 Tab 排行榜 UI 与左下角排名 HUD 需要客户端安装本模组才能显示。
- 称号借助原版计分板队伍前缀实现,未安装模组的客户端也能看到。
- 数据按世界独立存储,不同存档互不影响。
— 让每一次冒险都留下痕迹。Let every adventure leave its trace.
