Wolf's Stopwatch
by TempestVixen
Wolf's Stopwatch shows an on-screen stopwatch overlay during play, with a reset key and values kept when the world is left.
What it does
The overlay is toggled by a key and can be reset with the reset key; a reset also turns the overlay off, and pressing the reset key again while it is disabled starts it once more. Activating the overlay starts timing immediately, so the displayed value reflects time since the last reset. The stopwatch is only present in a world and is reached through the menus, and opening a menu pauses the game, which keeps the timer from running while the player is away from the screen.
Stopwatch values are saved when the world is left and restored on return, so a timer can carry across sessions. The position of the overlay is fixed in this release, and the author notes a configurable position for a later update. The mod is client-side only and is published for Fabric and Quilt across four game versions, 1.20.4 – 1.21.4, under CC0 1.0 Universal, which places it in the public domain and is open source.
Key features
On-screen stopwatch overlay
A timer is drawn on the screen during play, so elapsed time stays visible while the player works.
Reset and toggle keys
One key resets the timer and hides the overlay, and the same key shows it again when pressed after being disabled.
Saved values
Stopwatch values persist when the world is closed and are restored when it is opened again.
Pause with the game
The timer stops while the game is paused, so menu time does not count toward the measurement.

Use cases
Farm efficiency tracking
The stopwatch can time how long a farm or machine takes to produce a batch, which the author lists as a use.
Hide and seek
The author notes that the timer can be used to time rounds of hide and seek between players.
Who it’s for: Players who want to time activities in a single world, such as farms, builds or races, without leaving the game to use an external timer.

A simple mod that adds an on-screen stopwatch into Minecraft! Pressing [Reset] with no time on the stopwatch will toggle the overlay, disabling it. If it is already disabled, the [Reset] key will enable it once more.
