APMCraft
by tamdev
APMCraft shows a live actions-per-minute counter on screen, counting mouse clicks and key presses while the game is focused.
What it does
The counter updates in real time and also records a peak APM value during the session, so a player can see the highest rate reached. Clicks and key presses count toward APM even when a menu is open, and tracking pauses while the chat is open or the game window is unfocused. Because the number is an average over a short window, it takes about 60 seconds of play before the reading settles into a steadier range.
The display can be customized through Mod Menu, where the on-screen position is set and the live and peak readouts can be toggled on or off. The mod is built for speedrunners, since fast inventory work and escape-menu use are tracked as well. It suits players who want to measure how effective their actions are during fights, building or other repetitive play, and it was made to track APM in the style of StarCraft II and Warcraft III.
APMCraft runs on Fabric for 1.21.11 only, from the file published on 2026-04-16. Mod Menu is required. The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need to install it. The code is released under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Real-time APM counter
Clicks and key presses are counted and shown as actions per minute, updated as play continues.
Peak APM tracking
The highest APM reached during the session is recorded and can be displayed next to the live value.
Customizable display
Mod Menu controls the display settings, including where the counter sits on screen.
Pause-aware counting
Tracking stops while the chat is open or the game is unfocused, so typing does not inflate the reading.

Use cases
Speedrunning
Fast inventory interactions and escape-menu use are tracked, which lets a speedrunner measure input pace across a run.
Combat and building practice
Players who want to check how many meaningful actions they make in fights or while building can watch the live counter.
Who it’s for: Players who want an on-screen input-rate counter, and speedrunners who track how quickly they act during a run. Only the client needs the mod.

What the author says
A very simple mod that I made to track my APM while playing Acrobat on WynnCraft. APMCraft adds a real-time APM (Actions Per Minute) counter to Minecraft, inspired by StarCraft II, Warcraft III, and Desktop APM.
