KillCounter
by kong.irl
KillCounter shows a player's running total of kills on screen, with a few simple commands to view or reset it.
What it does
KillCounter tracks how many mobs or players a player has killed and draws that total in the top-left corner of the screen. It runs only on the client and uses Fabric, so installation needs Fabric Loader and Fabric API. The count updates whenever a new kill is registered, so the number stays current without opening any menu. Commands let the player check or clear the tracked count at any time.
The mod works in single-player and on multiplayer servers, since nothing needs to be installed on the server. Its author describes it as light on resources, aimed at players who grind mobs, hunt other players or want to beat a personal record. The mod is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source. Files exist for Minecraft 1.21 and 1.21.1, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.1 as the latest file, published on 2026-06-13.
Players can use the counter as a simple progress marker during a session. Because it stores only one number and draws it on the HUD, it adds little to the interface beyond the count itself.
