MineWatch
by Qiufeng
MineWatch puts the in-game clock, the day number and the player's coordinates on a single screen that players open with an item.
What it does
Holding the watch item and using it toggles a display that shows the current in-game time in 24-hour format, where 6:00 is sunrise and 18:00 is sunset, together with the current day number and the player's coordinates. The display can be hidden again with the same item, so the information appears only when a player wants it.
The mod is a Fabric build for Minecraft 1.21.8 – 1.21.10, with files for each of the three release versions and 1.0.0 as the latest file, dated 2026-03-25. It runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it. MineWatch is released under the MIT License and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. The first release was published on 2026-02-24.
Key features
Time display
The current in-game time is shown in 24-hour format, so a player can read dawn and dusk without counting ticks.
Day counter
The screen also gives the current day number, which tracks how long a world has been running.
Coordinate readout
The player's position appears alongside the clock, for navigating back to a base or a spot found earlier.
Toggle with an item
A watch item opens and closes the display, so the screen stays out of the way until it is needed.

Use cases
Timing night shifts
Players tracking sunrise and sunset in a survival world can read the clock at a glance instead of watching the sky.
Returning to a base
Recording coordinates next to the time makes it easier to find a base or a spot again after a long trip.
Multiplayer coordination
Groups on a shared server can note a time and a position together when they plan a meeting.
Who it’s for: Players who want time and coordinates visible on a single screen during survival or exploration, and server owners who run a Fabric server on 1.21.8 – 1.21.10.
How it compares
Death Coord is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.8 under the MIT License, and it is client required with the server optional. DeadWeight is a Fabric mod for 1.20.5 – 26.1.2 that is server-side only under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, so players need nothing installed. Ticker is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.4 only, under All rights reserved.
