AdvancedPlayTime [1.21 - 1.26]
by DMK
AdvancedPlayTime tracks how long each player has spent on a Forge server and shows the totals in chat, action bar, titles and configurable menus.
What it does
The tracker counts playtime per player and keeps counting while a player is offline, so totals stay accurate across sessions. Server owners can build live rankings of the most active players and choose how those rankings are displayed, including several menu layouts with paginated, horizontal or vertical scrolling. Placeholder support and Adventure text formatting let the output match the look of a server.
Notifications can be sent to chat, the action bar, titles or subtitles, and the menus can be styled to fit a server's theme. Administrators can adjust a player's recorded time, reset the data, or wipe it entirely. The mod is described as built for large servers and is published for Forge, with the latest file, 1.0.4, for 1.20.2. The server side alone runs it, and players join without installing anything.
The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code, issue tracker and wiki are public. Files cover 1.17 – 26.2 across 33 release versions. Forge is the only loader listed, but the mod is also offered for the Paper, Spigot, Bukkit, Purpur and BungeeCord server platforms.
