Day Counter
Day Counter puts an in-game day, hour, minute and second readout in the action bar above the hotbar, for NeoForge 1.21.4.
What it does
The counter shows how many in-game days have passed, with the hour, minute and second, written as Day 34 15:47 inside square brackets. A new world starts at day 1 rather than day 0, which differs from the F3 menu. The mod counts ticks, so the time command does not change the displayed value, though the counter still follows normal game time.

The count is driven by game ticks, so the time command does not alter what the counter displays.

The mod pack adds an custom couter in your actionbar (over your hotbar). The counter counts in ingame days minutes and seconds. So for example the mod could display: Day 34 [15:47].
