Beautiful Day Counter
by sonoFrangu
Beautiful Day Counter shows the in-game clock and the number of days a world has been played, with a bossbar that tracks the day.
What it does
A heads-up overlay shows the in-game clock as HH:MM, a running count of days since the world began, and a 24-hour progress bar across the top of the screen. The bar fills as the day passes, with midnight at 0%, noon at 50%, and a warning as sunset approaches so a player can reach a bed in time. Because it is a HUD addition, the clock and the counter stay visible without crafting a clock or checking the sky.
The colors of the bar shift smoothly from dawn yellow to day blue, sunset pink and night purple, fading once per second. Installation needs Fabric API as a required dependency on either loader, and Mod Menu is optional. Beautiful Day Counter runs on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21 – 26.1.2, with 15 release versions, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.

Use cases
Timing a night
The sunset warning gives a player time to reach a bed before the hostile mobs arrive.
Tracking progress across days
The day counter records how long a survival world has lasted without the player keeping a separate note.
Who it’s for: Players who want the time and day count visible at all times in singleplayer or on a server, and who prefer a clock on the screen to one crafted from items.
How it compares
Day Time Count is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and supports 1.21.11 – 26.1.2 on Fabric only, with a client-side environment. Day Counter HUD is client-side only, MIT licensed and published for Fabric 1.21.11, so it covers a single version. Day Counter Plus is client-side for Fabric in 1.21.8 – 26.3 under All rights reserved, which makes it a closed alternative.
