KTimer
by kilian754
KTimer lets players create, control and display several timers from chat commands, shown in the action bar.
What it does
Timers are created with simple commands, and each one can count down to zero or count up from zero. A timer can be paused, resumed, reset or removed at any time, and the text shown for it can be hidden or shown again with a separate command. Time is displayed in a compact form such as 2h 26m 8s, and a custom message can carry placeholders that fill in the timer values.
The mod works in the action bar above the hotbar and can be tuned for color and look: many selectable colors and gradients are available, including a smooth animated gradient for the text. Settings are reachable through a configuration screen opened from Mod Menu, so the appearance can be changed without editing files.
KTimer is client-side only, so it is a client mod: servers run without it and players install it alone. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. Its Fabric files cover 1.21.10 – 26.2, with the latest build 1.1.4 for 26.2 published on 2026-08-22.
Key features
Multiple countdown and countup timers
Several timers can run at once, each created with a short command and set to count down or count up.
Pause, resume, reset and remove
Every timer can be paused, resumed, reset to its start value or removed entirely from the same command set.
Compact time format
Durations are shown in a short form such as 2h 26m 8s, which keeps the action bar readable.
Custom text with placeholders
The display message can be rewritten, and placeholders insert the live timer value into the text.
Animated gradient colors
Text can use many preset colors and gradients, including a smoothly animated gradient effect.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who want on-screen timers in single-player or on a multiplayer client, and who prefer commands and a configuration screen over installing server-side tools.
How it compares
SessionTimer is client-side only and is all rights reserved, with Fabric files for 1.21 – 26.2. TimerDisplay Mod is also client-side only, published under the MIT License, but covers only 1.21.1 – 1.21.11. ChallengeTimer runs on the server alone and carries a custom license, so players join without installing anything, unlike KTimer, which every player must run.
