Counter Day
by 3lbash3
Counter Day shows the current in-game day on a small HUD in the top-left corner, for players tracking how many days a survival run has lasted.
What it does
The HUD counts days without a limit, so a world can run past 100 days, and a 100 day challenge is one of the uses the author describes. Position, color and scale of the text can be changed in the config file, and a simple in-game settings menu offers the same choices with a text position option, a text size option and a text color option. The display works in single-player and multiplayer worlds.
The mod is client and server: the server and every player need it. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and the author notes that it has no extra library or plugin requirements of its own. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved. The latest Forge file is 3.0.0 for 1.20.1, dated 2025-09-10, and the latest NeoForge file is 2.0.0 for 1.21.1, dated 2025-07-11. Counter Day has been published since 2024-10-06.
Counter Day is listed under the Adventure category. The author describes the internal changes in this version as smoother performance and a tidier file structure, and the design as deliberately simple, so the mod stays standalone and adds nothing beyond the counter.
Key features

Configurable text
Position, color and scale of the day text can be set through the config file or the in-game settings menu.
Single-player and multiplayer
The counter works in both single-player and multiplayer worlds.
