Day Counter
by zyyn0x
Day Counter is a Fabric adventure mod that records how long a singleplayer world has been played and shows the total in seconds, minutes, hours and days.
What it does
Once a singleplayer world is loaded, the playtime tracker starts counting without any setup. It measures real elapsed time rather than in-game days, so the total reflects the hours spent in a save. The readout is formatted in a clean, readable layout that breaks the total into seconds, minutes, hours and days.
The mod targets long-running survival worlds, such as a 1000-day hardcore run, where tracking progress across many sessions is the main concern. Content creators who document a world can use the totals as accurate statistics. Installation is a matter of placing the Fabric file in the mods folder and starting the game. The environment is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and the code is released under All rights reserved for 1.21.11.
Key features

Total time spent in a singleplayer world is recorded and displayed while the save is loaded.
Breakdown by unit
The total is shown in seconds, minutes, hours and days, so long sessions stay readable.
Automatic tracking
The counter starts on its own when a singleplayer world loads and needs no commands or configuration.
Lightweight client code
The tracker runs only on the client and is kept small so that it adds little overhead to play.
