Status Effect Timer

by magicus

With Status Effect Timer installed, the remaining time of each active potion effect appears on its vanilla HUD icon, so the inventory no longer needs to be opened to check it.

What it does

The mod overlays the time left on each status effect's vanilla HUD indicator. When an effect has an amplifier, such as Haste II, the amplifier level is drawn as well. Durations are shown in seconds, switch to minutes once they pass 60 seconds, and switch to hours past 60 minutes. Before 1.19.4, long effects were labelled as infinite once they crossed a fixed tick threshold; from 1.19.4 onward, truly infinite effects are marked with an infinity symbol and that threshold is gone.

The author built it because checking remaining time through the inventory and the recipe book was awkward, and other attempts replaced large parts of the vanilla code while still dropping basic vanilla behavior. The mod leaves the original HUD in place and adds only the overlay. It is a client-side only mod: only the client needs it, and servers do not. Builds are published for Fabric alone, covering 1.16.5 – 26.3 with the latest file 2.0.0+26.3 for 26.3, and the project is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only.

Key features

  1. Remaining time overlay

    Each active status effect icon on the HUD shows the seconds, minutes or hours left on that effect.

  2. Amplifier display

    Effects with an amplifier, such as Haste II, have their level drawn over the icon next to the timer.

  3. Unit switching

    Durations move from seconds to minutes and from minutes to hours as they shorten, keeping the readout short.

  4. Infinite effect marking

    Permanent effects from 1.19.4 onward are marked with an infinity symbol instead of a finite time.

  5. No settings screen

    The mod has no configuration options; it draws the overlay and changes nothing else in the HUD.

Use cases

Checking effects mid-fight

A player can read how long a beneficial or harmful effect lasts without opening the inventory or closing the recipe book.

Timing consumables

Players who drink potions in sequence can see when the previous effect runs out before drinking the next one.

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want the remaining time of status effects shown on the vanilla HUD. It suits anyone who plays alone or on a server, since the mod is only needed on the client.

How it compares

Full comparison

Status Effect HUD is open source under the MIT License and runs client-side only on Fabric for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, so it covers a narrower range of versions than this mod. EffectsHud is Fabric-only, client-side only, released under the MIT License and not open source, and its files cover only 1.21.10. Effect Timer Plus is client-side only and open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, but it also loads on Forge, NeoForge and Quilt and covers 1.20 – 26.3.

Questions

Does Status Effect Timer need Fabric API?

No required dependency is listed for Fabric.

Does the server need the mod?

No. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy.

Does it conflict with Durability Viewer?

Yes. Durability Viewer also renders a timer on the status effect icon, so its effect time feature must be disabled to avoid clutter.

Does the mod change how infinite effects show?

Yes, from 1.19.4 onward. Truly infinite effects are marked with an infinity symbol, and the older tick threshold no longer applies.

What the author says

This is a Minecraft mod for Fabric that overlays a timer on the Vanilla status effect HUD icons. This mod overlays the time left of the status effect on the vanilla indicator. If the effect has an amplifier (as in "Haste II"), the amplifier is also overlaid. That's it. This is a very minimalistic mod. No settings are…
