QOGL (Quality-Of-Game-Life)
by SHAD11T
QOGL puts a small configurable overlay on the screen that shows days survived, session playtime, the real-time clock and coordinates.
What it does
The HUD overlay can display four readouts: the world day counter, the time spent in the current session, the real-time system clock and the X, Y and Z coordinates. Each readout can be switched on or off in the in-game settings. Position is set by an anchor plus X and Y offsets, and holding Shift while adjusting an offset moves it in steps of ten.
The settings open from an in-game config screen with two pages. Changes are saved automatically to a file in the config folder. Architectury API is required on every loader. QOGL is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge for game versions 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, and it runs on the client alone, so a server does not need it. The code is released under the MIT License, but the project is not open source.

Use cases
Long survival runs
Players tracking progress across many in-world days can keep the day counter and session time visible while playing.

Who it’s for: Players who want a compact set of status readouts on the screen while they play in single-player or on a client joining a server.
How it compares

Coordinates Information is also client-side and under the MIT License, but it is not open source, and it covers game versions 1.19 – 1.21.4. Days Played Counter needs both the client and the server, and its license is All rights reserved.
