Day Counter (Original)

by justwilly

Day Counter places a day count above the hotbar, updated in real time, and was made for 100-day challenge videos.

FabricForgeNeoForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalCC0 1.0 Universal1.16 – 26.3

What it does

The counter shows the current in-game day as text just above the hotbar, so a player can follow progress without opening any menu. Because it changes the day in the world, the value also appears in the F3 debug screen.

It is delivered as a datapack, and also as a mod for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt. The server must run it, while players may add it to see the counter on their own screens; clients alone cannot show it. The files cover 1.16 – 26.3, and the license is CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Day count above the hotbar

    Text showing the day count is drawn directly above the hotbar during play.

  2. Real-time day tracking

    The displayed count advances with the passing of days in the world.

  3. Visible in the F3 menu

    Because the day in the world is changed, the same value shows in the F3 debug screen.
