Challenge Timer by OPNiki

by OPNiki

The run timer shows a count-up clock above the hotbar, with a format that scales as the run gets longer, and it saves its progress per world.

What it does

The timer sits above the hotbar and counts up in real time. Its display changes format as the run grows: seconds alone at first, then minutes and seconds, then hours, minutes and seconds, and days once a run passes that point. The timer pauses automatically whenever the pause menu opens, so menu time does not count toward the run.

The overlay can be toggled on or off, and a background behind the text can be turned off too. When the background is on, it takes a free hex colour value, so the colour can be set to any shade. The elapsed time is saved per world and survives restarts, so a run can continue after the game closes.

This is a client-side mod for singleplayer. It needs Fabric API, and the files are for Fabric only, covering 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.1.0 for 26.3 as the latest build. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.

Key features

  1. Real-time count-up timer

    The timer counts elapsed time in real time above the hotbar and pauses while the pause menu is open.

  2. Scaling time format

    The display moves from seconds to minutes, hours and days as the run lengthens, so long runs stay readable.

  3. Hex-colour background

    An optional background behind the timer takes any colour set by hex value, and it can be switched off entirely.

  4. Per-world saved progress

    The elapsed time is stored for each world and resumes after restarts, which suits long challenge runs.

Questions

Does this timer need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is required, and it must be installed next to the timer on Fabric.

Can this timer run on a server?

No. The environment is client-side only, and the mod is listed for singleplayer, so a server does not need it and multiplayer play is not covered.

Is the timer progress kept when the game closes?

Yes. The elapsed time is saved per world and survives restarts, so a run picks up where it stopped.
