Day Time Count
by duchiru
Day Time Count shows the current in-game day and time in a small HUD counter in the top-left corner of the screen, and it can announce milestone days.
What it does
A player who wants to keep track of the in-game calendar gets a compact overlay that displays the current day alongside the time of day, updated in real time while the world runs. The display stays out of the way of the main play area, and it is a client-only addition: a server does not need it, and players can join a server that runs vanilla logic without installing anything.
The counter is built for Fabric and needs Fabric API to run. Builds target 1.21.11 – 26.1.2 across four release versions: 1.21.11, 26.1, 26.1.1 and 26.1.2. The latest Fabric file is 1.5.1 for 26.1.2, published on 2026-04-21. The project is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Real-time day and time display
The HUD shows the current in-game day together with the time of day, refreshed continuously as the world advances.
Milestone celebrations
The counter marks chosen day numbers as milestones, so a player can see when a set point in the world's timeline is reached.
Configurable tracker color
The text color can be set as RRGGBB, with alpha either defaulting to FF or given as AARRGGBB.
Minimal top-left placement
The display sits in the top-left corner as a plain text block, avoiding a large panel over the screen.

Use cases
Long survival runs
A player who plays a single world over many in-game days can check the count without opening a menu.
Timed events on a world
Players tracking a scheduled event in their own world can follow the day count from the corner of the screen.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a simple day and time readout during single-player or multiplayer sessions. The overlay is useful for anyone who keeps a timeline of days in a world.
