DayTracker
by Dastych
A centered overlay near the top of the screen shows the in-game day for DayTracker, worked out from the world time.
What it does
The day counter is drawn as a client overlay at the top of the screen. It reads the world time and works out which day the player is on, so the count keeps pace with the world as time passes. The overlay sits on the HUD and does not change anything in gameplay.
The mod suits survival runs and long-term play where tracking progression matters, such as challenges that are timed by days. Because only the client draws the overlay, it installs on a single player's client and needs nothing on the server side. It requires Fabric API, and files cover 1.21.7 – 1.21.9 for Fabric. The code is under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Two releases target 1.21.7 and 1.21.9, and the latest file is 4.1 for 1.21.9, published 2026-05-15. The mod was first published on 2026-04-08.
Key features
Current day display
The HUD shows the in-game day number at all times, so the player does not need to open a menu to check it.
Day count from world time
The day is derived from the world time, so the number matches the progression of the save.
Centered top overlay
The counter is placed in a clean centered position at the top of the screen, out of the way of the game view.
Non-intrusive rendering
The overlay is only a display layer and leaves gameplay untouched.
