KillTimer
by TomasK4
KillTimer adds a countdown timer to a NeoForge server that ends the game when it reaches zero, and a command to start, stop and reset it.
What it does
KillTimer runs a countdown that players can see through the game timer, and it ends the round when the time runs out. A server owner starts the timer with a command that takes a number of minutes, so the length of each round can be set per game. Stopping the timer and setting it back to 00:00 are handled by a separate command, which lets an operator end a round early or clear a stale countdown.
The mod is a minigame tool for servers that run timed rounds. Joining a game starts the timer automatically at 10:00, so a round begins with a known limit without an extra command. Because the countdown is tied to the server, the timer keeps running regardless of which players are online during the round.
KillTimer runs on NeoForge only, with files published for 1.21.4 – 1.21.8 under the name KillTimer. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source.

Use cases
Timed minigame servers
Server owners running hunt or survival rounds can give every game a fixed time limit.
Early round endings
Operators can stop the timer mid-round and reset it, clearing the countdown for the next game.
Who it’s for: Server owners and operators who run timed minigames on NeoForge and want a shared countdown that ends each round.
How it compares
Rainbow Timer is also a NeoForge timer, but it runs on client and server and is published for 1.21.4, while KillTimer is server-side only and covers 1.21.4 – 1.21.8. Hide & Seek is a server-side minigame that also targets NeoForge and Fabric, with a custom license and a single build for 1.21.1, while KillTimer uses an All rights reserved license. Players joining a server running KillTimer need nothing, which is not true of the client and server timers in the comparison.
