Effect Timer Plus

by TerminalMC

Effect Timer Plus draws a potency indicator and a countdown on top of status effect icons, with options for nearly every part of the overlay.

What it does

Each status effect icon gets a potency number and a remaining-time countdown. Text color, opacity, shadow and background can be set, and the text can sit in any of eight positions around the icon. A separate warning color and flash can mark effects that are about to expire, and either indicator can be switched off on its own. Ambient effects from beacons can be hidden from the timer, and the scaling option changes the size of the effect icons.

The mod is client-side only, so only the player's client needs it and servers run without it. It is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. It requires Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and it is an update of Status Effect Timer that puts customization first; the code reused from that project is included under its license. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with game versions 1.20 – 26.3 and snapshot builds available.

Key features

  1. Adjustable text styling

    Text color and opacity can be changed, with an optional shadow and an optional background behind the numbers.

  2. Eight text positions

    The potency and time text can be placed at any of eight positions relative to each effect icon.

  3. Low-time warning

    An optional warning color and flash signal when an effect is close to running out.

  4. Separate indicator toggles

    The potency indicator and the countdown can each be disabled independently.

  5. Ambient effect filter

    The timer can be hidden on ambient beacon effects, leaving the countdown only on effects the player applied.

  6. Icon scaling

    A scaling option changes the size of status effect icons on screen.

Use cases

Reading beacon and potion timers

Players who track several timed effects at once can place the numbers where they read them most comfortably.

Cleaner HUD

Players who want fewer on-screen elements can switch off either indicator or hide the timer on beacon effects.

Who it’s for: Players who want to customize how status effect timers look on their own screen. Only the client needs the mod, so it suits single-player games and multiplayer clients on any server.
