Space's day counter
by StaticLabs
Space's day counter puts the current in-game day on screen, and the number keeps climbing as long as the world is played.
What it does
The day count is shown as a small HUD element on the right side of the scoreboard, so a player can see how many days a world has lasted without opening a menu. Day tracking records the world's true age from day 1 and keeps counting when a player leaves and returns, which makes the figure a reliable record for long survival runs.
Players can use the count as a milestone: a goal such as surviving 100 days or beating the Ender Dragon before day 50 gives a challenge run a clear marker. Setup needs nothing beyond the mod itself, and it leaves existing configurations untouched. A Data pack build of the same feature is also published, so a server can add the counter without a loader mod.
The mod is server required and client optional, so a server owner installs it and players may add it to see the HUD. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the latest file, 1.0+mod, targets 26.1.1 and dates from 2025-11-15.
