Startup Timer
Startup Timer shows how long Minecraft took to load, either as a chat-style notification or as a toast, and can play a ding when loading finishes.
What it does
Startup Timer reports the time Minecraft spent loading once the game is ready. The report can appear as a notification, using Minecraft's built-in toast system, and a ding sound can play when loading finishes. Each of the two outputs can be switched on or off in the config screen. It is client-side only, so only the player's game needs it. The mod is published for Fabric across 9 release versions, 1.21.8 – 26.3, and needs Fabric API, Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) installed alongside it. The code is open source under the MIT License.
