PackTimer
by toBlue49
PackTimer puts a configurable timer on a Minecraft server, with a day counter and millisecond display for runs and events.
What it does
Server owners start, stop and configure the timer, and it can show days elapsed through a day counter. A millisecond counter gives finer readings for speedruns and timed challenges. The interface stays simple, and the timer can be shown in any of 16 colors. The text is available in English and German.
Commands must be enabled for operator use on the server before the timer can be controlled, and a few settings are changed before the timer starts. The server must run the mod, while players may add it to their client without needing it to join. Files exist for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 32 release versions, 1.18 – 26.3, and snapshot builds are published. The mod is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.

Use cases
Speedruns
Players and organizers who track a run on a shared server can start the timer with the millisecond display.
Event countdowns
A server hosting a timed event can start the timer and show elapsed days to mark its length.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want a visible timer for challenges, speedruns or events, and operators who manage commands on their server.
How it compares
Items Timer is released under the MIT License and is not open source, with files for 1.19.4 – 26.3; the server must run it, while players may add it without needing it to join. Timer for Speedrun is also under the MIT License and not open source, but it covers the wider 1.18 – 26.3 range, and only the server needs to run it. Simple Timer is under the MIT License and is open source, with files for 1.13 – 1.21.11, so it reaches older versions than PackTimer.
