Play Time Display

by JuiceyBeans

Play Time Display shows the current world's play time as an on-screen overlay for NeoForge players on the client side.

NeoForgeClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21 – 26.1

What it does

The mod draws a GUI display of how long the current world has been played. Its position is set by default with X and Y overlay coordinates, and the text uses a default color with a drop shadow so it stays readable over the game view. The display can be moved or restyled through its settings.

By default the time is shown in the game's standard statistic format rather than a year, day, hour, minute and second layout. The mod is published for NeoForge only, with files for 1.21 – 26.1 across eight release versions, the latest being 1.21.11-1.0.1 for 1.21.11. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it.

Key features

  1. World play time overlay

    A GUI display shows how long the current world has been played, updated while the player is in the game.

  2. Adjustable position

    The overlay has X and Y position settings, set to default coordinates, so it can be moved away from other elements on screen.

  3. Text color and shadow

    The overlay text has a default color and a drop shadow option, both enabled by default for readability.

  4. Statistic time format

    The time uses the default statistic format by default, with the option to switch away from the YYDDHHMMSS layout.

Use cases

Tracking a survival run

A player can keep an eye on the time spent in one world while playing, without opening the statistics screen.

Timing a challenge

Speedrunners and challenge players can read the elapsed time directly on screen during a timed attempt.

Who it’s for: Players who want the elapsed time of a world visible during play on a NeoForge client. Servers do not need the mod, because it runs on the client alone.

How it compares

Full comparison

Counter is open source under the MIT License and runs on client and server with NeoForge files for 1.21 – 26.3, so the server would also need it. Stats Overlay is a client-side NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Play Time Display is client-side only and covers the same NeoForge builds but is not open source.

Questions

Which loader does Play Time Display need?

It is published for NeoForge only. There are no Fabric or Forge builds listed for it.

Does the server need Play Time Display?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Can the overlay be moved on screen?

Yes. The X and Y position settings control where the display appears, and both default to set coordinates.
