DaySpot
DaySpot is a client-side HUD overlay that shows the day count, time, biome, moon phase and coordinates on screen, with optional warnings for hostile mobs.
What it does
The overlay can show time, coordinates, biome, weather and FPS in a clean layout. Each info line can be switched on or off separately and given one of 11 colors, and the time can be displayed in 24-hour or 12-hour AM/PM format. Six positions are available, from the top corners to above the hotbar, and the overall scale can be set between 0.5x and 1.5x.
A danger alert system watches for hostile mobs outside the field of view and warns the player when they come close. Alerts use three tiers, Awareness, Warning and Danger, and each mob type has its own detection range. Messages can be serious with a direction, humorous with randomized text, or minimal with only the mob name.
DaySpot needs YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to be installed alongside it. Mod Menu is optional and, when present, adds a DaySpot Config entry to the mods list. The settings sit in a Display tab for the HUD and a Danger Alerts tab for warnings, including cooldown and detection range. The mod is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for Fabric and Forge, with files for 1.20.1 and 1.21.1.
