Day Counter
by FluxFallen
Day Counter places a HUD readout of the current Minecraft day on screen, and the position can be dragged anywhere on the display.
What it does
Day Counter shows the in-game day number on a compact heads-up display. The readout updates in real time as the day changes, so the count stays current without any command. The display is a simple, lightweight HUD built to stay minimal and unobtrusive.
The display is positioned by the player. Dragging it moves the readout to any point on the screen, and while it moves, center alignment guides appear to help place it precisely. The position is saved automatically, so it stays where it was left after a restart. Pressing M opens the position editor. The mod is compatible with resource packs and custom fonts.
Day Counter is a Fabric mod that needs only the Fabric loader, and it is released under the MIT License as open source. It runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing it.
