Day Counter Plus
by 3lbash3
Day Counter Plus replaces a plain world day number with an animated on-screen display that shows the current day and updates as the sun rises and sets.
What it does
The display shows DAY X for the current world day and refreshes in real time through each sunrise and sunset. Text can move in wave-like motion, cycle through rainbow colors, pulse in scale and fade out over time, and borders or soft shadows keep it readable while those effects run.
Position, text scale, colors and transparency can all be adjusted, and the settings are saved to a config file that loads automatically each session. The mod works through its interface rather than commands, so no extra steps are needed to show the counter. It is built for Forge and NeoForge, runs on client and server, and covers game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1. Day Counter Plus is not open source; its license is All rights reserved.
Key features
Animated day display
The day number can move up and down like ocean waves, pulse in scale and fade out dynamically.
Rainbow color cycling
Colors shift smoothly through a rainbow cycle, so the counter stays visible in changing light.
Outline and shadow
Borders and soft shadows give the text clarity even while the fading effects are active.
Adjustable layout
X and Y position, text size, colors and transparency can each be changed to fit the interface.
