Timeworn
by Prantol
Timeworn is a Forge 1.20.1 client mod that records how long a player has actually been in Minecraft, since Minecraft's own statistics only count in-game time.
What it does
Timeworn tracks real-world playtime automatically, logging each session from launch to close without any setup beyond installing the file. Minecraft does not show how long a player has been playing, and the mod fills that gap with a total that grows over time. Records are encrypted before they leave the machine, and they can be sent to an external server for visualization, including dashboards and a global leaderboard.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own client needs it and servers do not have to install anything to host Timeworn players. It works alongside modded setups, heavy modpacks and custom builds, and the data is tied to a unique identifier rather than a file name, so the record is not lost when the file is renamed. Timeworn is published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, and the license is a custom one, so the code is not open source.
Support for Fabric development and an issue tracker for bug reports and timely fixes are both linked from the project. A wiki covers the setup. Modpack makers can include the mod without changing their server configuration.
Key features
Automatic playtime tracking
Total playtime is recorded in the background, so players do not have to start or stop a timer.
Encrypted data
Playtime records are encrypted before any information is sent to the external visualization server.
Dashboards and leaderboard
Recorded totals can be viewed on dashboards, and a global leaderboard ranks players by time played.
Identifier-based records
Each record is tied to a unique identifier, so renaming the mod file does not lose the saved history.

What the author says
Track your game time — and everyone else’s. It solves a glaring omission: Minecraft doesn’t show how long you've actually played. Unlike platforms like Steam or Battle net, Minecraft offers no built-in statistics for real-world time spent in-game. No hours. No days.
