Avies Day Counter
by Avie
Avie's Day Counter displays a small day tally above the hotbar, with no setup needed once it is installed.
What it does
The counter starts as soon as the mod is installed and tracks days played in the world without any configuration. The display is deliberately minimal, so it sits quietly beside the game and keeps the focus on survival while progress is tracked. In hardcore worlds, where each day survived is what counts, the counter fits naturally.
Players can change how the counter is visible with the trigger dc toggle, and a personal display mode lets each player choose their own view. Other options include a days and progress mode, sunrise and sunset titles that are set per player, and a settings menu on the pause screen opened with trigger dc menu. The mod is available as Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt builds, and also as a data pack for server platforms.
The server must run it, while players may leave it out, so either side works without the other needing it on its own. Files cover 1.17 – 26.3 and are released under the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 license, so the code is not open source. The latest builds are version 3-26.x+mod for 26.3, dated 2026-10-08.
Key features
Automatic day counting
The number of days played is tracked from the moment the world starts, with nothing to configure.
Display visibility control
The trigger dc toggle switches the counter on or off, and a personal display mode affects only one player.
Days and progress display
A mode shows the day count together with progress, and a separate option lets players toggle the view.
Sunrise and sunset titles
Titles mark sunrise and sunset for each player, and the trigger dc sun toggle turns them off.
Settings on the pause screen
A settings menu on the pause screen, opened with trigger dc menu, groups the display options together.
