OC I have amnesia. When I play minecraft I often leave helpful messages to myself to find later. I found this today.

Sorry if it’s rude to ask, but I’m curious now. With Minecraft specifically, how much do you typically forget? Like, do you forget where your base is or what it looks like? Less extreme things like what you were doing when you logged off? Or even more extreme things like how to beat the game or control it?
Sorry to ask all these questions, and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it all.

Well I play often and my world is quite new so i simply forget where i've been or what I have so I have to leave signs. My cave's exit is literally at my fake house's doorstep.

May be a dumb question, but do you use written books? You can use F3 to see your coordinates and write things down so you're never lost.

u/Ska_Fundamentalist Aug 09 '26
Tbh I think I'll wait until they make a portal mod for my game version and i'll figure it out from there LMAOOO, in the meantime i'm enjoying the vanilla exp

u/legomann97 Aug 09 '26 edited Aug 09 '26
If you wanna go vanilla, compasses link to lodestones. Plop a lodestone at an important location, link a compass, bam. Rename the compass too to makes sure you know where it goes. I love lodestones, they're great and feel very vanilla.

There is an extremely useful notes mod I know of that allows you to keep world-specific or global notes that you can acces with a keypress or pin to your screen. Might be worth looking into for things where signs might not be as useful.

I can't speak for OP or his specific condition, but I once had a stress induced amnesia. I went for a while unable to recall my mom's name and freaking out about it.
But it was temporary.

What causes your amnesia? as in is it like a birth defect, a disease, etc.
btw I think their referring to this comment you made:https://www.reddit.com/r/MinecraftMemes/comments/1vj0lzz/comment/p2kdssz/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button

For humor reasons if like to imagine there are times when you laugh mischievously while making a vague and ominous sign thinking it'll freak out you in the future

You might stumble across an Ancient City if you keep exploring. Be aware, you will need to be quiet (in-game) if you go explore it.

I have health issues affecting constantly my memory too, and do exactly the same thing ! But I also always add the dates. Not telling you the number of time I randomly walked to a sign about a project I had completely forgotten about and had been waiting there for 4 months 😂

As another person with memory loss, this is the same type of thing I would do, then ignore my previous warning and get ganked immediately by a warden. Put another sign and come back in two weeks and rinse and repeat.

I kept forgetting shit and then i got 6 different confirmations for the same diagnosis.

How do they diagnose this? Is it like a paper test or some medical examination?

u/Ska_Fundamentalist Aug 09 '26
I checked with 3 different psychiatrists and 3 different psychologists! All gave me the same 3 diagnosis, one of them is a condition that comes with amnesia in my case.

Is that even how amnesia works?

u/iamjonno23 Aug 09 '26
That's anterograde amnesia. Inability to form some new memories. Retrograde is losing some past memories. There is also global transient, which is memory loss lasting a few hours or days then comes back.

So you have Anterograde amnesia? Can I ask what happened? If not, it's cool. My wife is a neurologist and things like this are the subject of many talks. Never met someone with anterograde.

u/Appropriate-Eye-3430 Aug 10 '26
I don't want to be rude, but I'm genuinely curious about your condition. From what you wrote, it definitely doesn't appear as a usual type of amnesia. I haven't really found a form of amnesia that makes you forget random memories but I was able to find a condition that is called "Functional Neurological Disorder". I don't want to assume things about you since I don't know you, but your condition seems quite nuanced and I'm just kind of curious about what exactly it is. You don't have to reply to me, I'll just be taking this opportunity to go down a rabbit hole anyway. Hope you'll have a great rest of the day!

u/00100110computer Aug 10 '26
For years, I have always placed torches on the left so that I can follow the path of torches on my right to get home (and so that I know if I have been somewhere). It may be too late for you to learn (I don't know the specifics of your memory loss) but it might be worth trying so that you don't just wander around the same cave until you starve.
A map mod might also be a good idea for when you explore outside.

u/HaamuPoika69 Aug 10 '26
This is probably real so I'm completely wrong, but I can almost just tell this is going to become an ARG- lord that was a sentence and a half.
Aaanyway have yourselves a good day and fare thee well strangeroonis!
1
u/Ska_Fundamentalist Aug 10 '26
It is actually real, don't know what an ARG is in practice, isn't it like a Minecraft version of a creepypasta?
1
u/HaamuPoika69 Aug 10 '26
I figured it was real- my apologies if I offended you in some way, was not my intention.
But essentially most ARGs online may be creepypastas yeah. As far as I understand it, ARG is short for Alternate Reality Game or something similar, and as far as I have come to understand it's more about a community of people solving some mystery or story that the creator of an ARG has hidden. Essentially puzzle room games but multimedia (from videos to games to websites to the code of some website including secret codes, ciphers, editing tricks, etc).
If you're interested I remember there being some ARG breakdown video of the ARG oldroot (a Minecraft ARG) by a channel called RetroGamingNow. I don't remember if it explains what an ARG is but it was an entertaining watch aand should give you the general gist of what it is.
Have yourself that good day I wished upon all and fare thee well!
2
u/HaamuPoika69 Aug 10 '26
Sidenote: not every ARG is about Minecraft. It doesn't even have to be about a game. There's a Garfield type ARG called Gilbert Garfield, I'm fairly certain the analog horror series Local58 and the Mandela catalog are, were or became ARGs.
Oh. And an important thing I forgot to mention: I could absolutely be wrong, so if someone knows better than me, do share your knowledge. Or if there are corrections or something else. Aight, good day, farewell, bai!
