Playtime Tracker
by thepir4te
Playtime Tracker shows session, world and total playtime in a customizable on-screen display that players can move and resize in-game.
What it does
The HUD reports three timers: the current session, the time spent in the active world, and the total playtime across all worlds. Each timer can be shown or hidden, and colors can be set with hex values in RRGGBB form. The settings menu opens with the K key, where the display can be dragged, scaled and previewed live.
Because the mod runs only on the client, a server does not need it and players can keep using it on any server. It requires Fabric API, and files are published for Fabric only, covering 1.21.1 – 1.21.9 with the latest file, 1.1.7+1.21.9, built for 1.21.9. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.
Key features
Session timer
Shows how long the current game session has been running, reset each time the client starts.
World-specific playtime
Tracks the time spent in each world separately, so a single world's progress is visible at a glance.
Total playtime
Adds the time across all worlds into one running figure shown beside the other timers.
Drag-and-drop editor
The display can be moved with the mouse and scaled in place, with the change visible immediately during play.
Hex color support
Each text color accepts a six-digit RRGGBB hex value, allowing the timers to match a resource pack or personal taste.

Use cases
Tracking progress in survival
A player who wants to see how long a survival world has been played can keep the world timer on screen while building or exploring.
Keeping sessions in view
Session time stays visible during long play, so a player can judge when to take a break without leaving the game.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a small, configurable timer on their own screen. Server owners do not need to install anything for it.
How it compares
PlayClock is a client-side Fabric mod for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source. Played is client-side only for 1.21.1 – 26.3 under a custom license and is not open source. Playtime Tracker is under the MIT License and is not open source, and its files end at 1.21.9, so its version range ends earlier than either.
