Festival Timer for Fabric
by OakPlatinum
Festival Timer for Fabric is a server-side utility that counts down to a special moment on a server, configured through a JSON file.
What it does
The mod runs a countdown to a special moment that a server owner starts. The countdown is set in a config file named festivaltimer.json, found in the config folder of the server. Because the mod runs only on the server, players join without installing anything.
After changing the config, a server operator runs the command festivaltimer reload to apply the new values without a restart. The author's example case covers a config that loses its values, which are restored by deleting the file and restarting the server. The mod is released under the MIT License and is open source, with its source code and issue tracker public.
Festival Timer for Fabric has files for 13 release versions, 1.19.2 – 1.21.4, and the latest Fabric file is 1.1.1 for 1.21.4, published on 2025-01-27. It is one of 8670 Utility mods with Fabric files for 1.21.4.
