Day Count - a day counter HUD (Forge/NeoForge/Fabric)
by PeteMC
The day counter HUD shows how many days have passed in the world, with its position, size, color and prefix text configurable.
What it does
The counter is a HUD element drawn over the game view, so the number stays visible during play. Position is set with X and Y coordinates, text color and scale can be changed, and the default "Day: " prefix can be swapped for any string. An optional background box with transparency is available.
The display suits "100 Days" challenges and long survival runs where the current day matters at a glance. Only the client needs the mod, so a server can be joined without installing anything. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 29 release versions, 1.19 – 26.3, and the code is not open source, as it is All rights reserved. Source code and an issue tracker are linked publicly.

Use cases

Long survival tracking
Players tracking a long-term world can read the elapsed days without opening any other interface.
Who it’s for: Players who run day-count challenges or long survival worlds and want the current day shown on screen while they play.
