Timer
by AlphaSlither
Timer shows a real-time clock above the hotbar on Fabric, and this Fabric mod for 1.21.11 changes how that clock looks while it runs or sits paused.
What it does
Timer draws a running clock in the action bar area, directly above the hotbar, so the elapsed time stays visible during play. The display counts seconds by default, and its colors pulse while the timer runs. When the timer is paused, the readout switches to gray, which makes the status clear at a glance.
The mod is aimed at challenge runs, speedruns and time trials, where a visible clock matters, and it suits servers that host those formats. It is server-side only, so only the server needs it and players join without installing anything. Timer requires Fabric and runs on Minecraft 1.21.11, with a single file published for that version.
Key features
Real-time display
A clock updates continuously in the action bar, giving players the elapsed time without opening a menu.
Animated design
The timer's colors pulse dynamically while it is running, so the display visibly changes as time passes.
Pause mode
When the timer is paused, its text turns gray, which clearly marks that the clock has stopped.
Seconds by default
The readout is shown in seconds by default, a simple format for timed challenges and trials.
