Day Counter by Niruki
by niruki
Day Counter puts a small pixel-art wall calendar in the top-left corner of the screen, showing the current in-game day of the world.
What it does
The calendar is drawn as a tiny pixel-art wall calendar with a colored header, a white page and spiral binding rings along the top. It keeps the current Minecraft day visible at all times, which helps anyone who has lost track of how long they have been playing a world. The day is read directly from the world, so the counter only works once a world is loaded.
Because the overlay is drawn on the client, the mod runs on client and server, and each player who wants the calendar needs it installed. Day Counter is published for Forge only, for Minecraft 1.20.1, and it is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. The current Forge file is 1.0.0, uploaded on 2026-05-11.
Key features
Pixel-art wall calendar
A small calendar in the top-left corner shows the current day, styled after a real wall calendar.
Color themes
The header can be switched to one of nine palettes, including turquoise, so it matches the rest of the interface.
Adjustable size and position
The scale runs from 0.5 to 6 to match the interface, and an overlay mode moves the calendar by pixel offset.
Header text shadow toggle
The text shadow on the calendar header can be switched on or off to fine-tune how it reads.

How it compares
Omniterra Calendar is another Forge calendar for 1.20.1 that also runs on client and server, but it is released under the MIT License. Death Counter is client-side only, so servers need nothing from it, and it is released under All rights reserved. Custom Crash Headers is client-side only under a custom license.
