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.

ForgeGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.17 – 26.2

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.

Use cases

Survival server rankings

A server can display its most active players in a menu or on a scoreboard-style screen to reward time spent.

Community events

Owners can announce milestones to all players through titles and action bar messages.

Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want to track and display how long players stay on their server. Players on those servers need nothing installed.

Questions

Does AdvancedPlayTime need to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server needs the mod, so players join a server that runs it without installing anything. The Forge files are the ones published for this loader.

Does playtime keep counting when a player is offline?

Yes. The mod keeps tracking time while a player is offline, so totals reflect all time spent on the server.

Can a server owner change or reset recorded times?

Yes. Administrators can adjust a player's playtime, reset the data or wipe it entirely.
