Advanced Timer
by L3_N0X
Advanced Timer adds a configurable on-screen timer for Minecraft, with placement, colors, gradients, bold text and pause indicators.
What it does
The timer can be placed in any part of the screen and set to change color, auto-pause, and show a paused suffix when stopped. Primary and secondary timer colors can be chosen, either as a single color or as a gradient between two colors. The gradient can be animated at an adjustable speed, and its intensity can be set from 0 to 100 percent.
Bold text can be toggled for the timer display, and the timer can show its state through the action bar. Timer storage is kept per world or per server, so each one keeps its own timer. The mod runs on Fabric and NeoForge and needs only the client. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are required, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the settings screen.

Use cases
Speedruns and challenge runs
A timer placed on screen with auto-pause lets a runner track time without leaving the game view.
Server-specific timers
Storage per world or per server keeps separate timer values for each place a player joins.
Who it’s for: Players who want a visible timer for speedruns, challenges or timed builds, and players who prefer a timer styled with custom colors or gradients.
