Crystal Anchor Counter
by cutebow
Crystal Anchor Counter is a Fabric client mod that shows real-time CPS for crystals and APS for respawn anchors on a HUD overlay.
What it does
A HUD overlay displays crystals per second (CPS) and anchors per second (APS) in real time, so a player can see how fast their crystal and respawn anchor actions are happening. The counter can also show anchor ticks, timings between actions, and the time from placing an anchor to its explosion in milliseconds. An Average Mode shows average crystals or anchors per second alongside the live value, and the live counter resets each second.
The mod only counts actions that the player performs manually in vanilla; it does not automate anything or give an advantage. It is licensed under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code publicly available. Files are published for Fabric only, across 19 release versions 1.20 – 1.21.11, with 1.21.11 for 1.21.11 as the latest file. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.
