DelayTimer
by PPekKunGz
DelayTimer lets a server schedule commands to run after a set number of game ticks, with the ability to cancel, list and clear pending jobs.
What it does
Each scheduled entry pairs a delay in ticks with a command and a target. Once the delay passes, the server runs the command against that target, so an action can be queued now and carried out later without a command block or datapack. Support for cancellation, listing and queue management lets an administrator see what is pending and remove entries before they fire.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. It requires Fabric API and is built for Fabric Loader on Minecraft 1.20.1. Only that version is covered by the catalog entry. The project is not open source, and its license is All rights reserved, though public links to the source code and issue tracker exist. The first file was published on 2026-02-01, and the same date is the latest update.
Key features
Tick-based delays
Commands are scheduled to run after a chosen number of ticks on the server, counted from the moment they are queued.
Per-target scheduling
Each queued command is tied to a specific target, so the same action can be delayed independently for different entities or players.
Cancel, list and clear
Pending entries can be cancelled one at a time, listed to show the queue, or cleared all at once when a schedule must stop.
Lightweight design
The mod keeps to vanilla command behavior and adds little overhead, leaving the rest of the server's logic unchanged.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Server owners and administrators who want timed commands on a Fabric server running Minecraft 1.20.1. Because the mod is server-side only, it is not needed on the players' side.
How it compares
Command on Interval is also server-side only and open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, but it covers 1.21 – 1.21.1 and fires commands on a repeating interval rather than after a single delay. Command Block Delay is MIT licensed and targets 1.21.11, with the server required and the client optional. Teleport Command is server-side only under All rights reserved and covers 1.21 – 26.3, so it is not tied to a single delayed run.
