Playtime Command
by SpoonySimone
Playtime Command lets server staff and players check how long each account has been online with a single command, and the mod is server-side only.
What it does
Playtime Command reads the playtime Minecraft already records for each account, so the figures match the game's own tracking rather than a separate counter. A player can type the command to see their own total or the total of another online player, and the mod also provides a leaderboard that lists the most active players currently online. Usernames from Minecraft Bedrock work with the command in the same way as Java usernames, which allows Geyser setups to use the feature without changes.
The mod needs Fabric API and runs on Fabric or Quilt for 1.20 – 26.3. It is also available for Paper, Purpur and Folia servers. Playtime Command is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and it works with zero configuration. At startup it checks for updates and reports any new release in the console. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

How it compares
Playtime Plus is server-side only, open source under the MIT License, and built for Fabric on 26.1.2 – 26.2. Play Time Tracker is also server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0, but its files cover only 1.21. PlayClock is different: it is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, for 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, and only the client runs it.
