DaysCounter
by SG327
DaysCounter shows the current Minecraft day in a small HUD overlay, so the day no longer has to be read from the F3 debug screen.
What it does
Once installed, DaysCounter draws the current in-game day on the screen. The display uses a clean format and can be moved with a key binding: pressing K cycles the overlay through several screen positions, including Top Left and Top Center. The position is stored in the config file that is created after the game is launched once, and the key is listed under Options, Controls, Key Binds as SG Day Counter.
The mod works in singleplayer worlds and on multiplayer servers as long as it is installed on the player's client. It is aimed at hardcore survival runs, 100 Days challenges and SMP worlds where tracking progress by day matters. Only the client needs the mod, so a server does not have to install it. DaysCounter is a Fabric mod published for 26.2 – 26.3, and it is released under the MIT License but is not open source.
