Xaero Day Tweaks
by DoubleStar
Xaero Day Tweaks keeps the day counter shown by Xaero's Minimap in step with the day shown by vanilla Minecraft.
What it does
By default Xaero's Minimap starts counting from day 1, while vanilla Minecraft keeps its own count, so the two can disagree. This Fabric mod links the minimap counter to the vanilla day, and the value on the F3 debug menu is used as the reference, so both displays match without changing the original Xaero's Minimap jar.
A custom offset can be added to the minimap day counter through a config file, which lets a server or a player shift the number to fit a world's history. Xaero Day Tweaks needs Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Xaero's Minimap to run. It is published for Fabric only, on Minecraft 26.2, and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Its code is under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features
Day counter sync
The minimap day counter follows the vanilla day, so the value matches the one on the F3 menu.
Custom day offset
A configurable offset in a config file shifts the minimap day counter to any number the player chooses.
Original jar untouched
Xaero's Minimap is used as installed, and the change is applied by this mod alone.
Client-only install
Only the player's client loads the mod, so a server can run without it.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Matching the F3 day
Players who read the day from the F3 menu and also check the minimap see the same number.
Shared world numbering
A group that wants the minimap to start from a known day can set the offset in the config file.
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 26.2 who use Xaero's Minimap and want its day counter to agree with the vanilla day. The mod is client-side, so it is set up on each player's game rather than on a server.
How it compares
XaeroNuhUh is a server-side mod for Fabric and NeoForge, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1 – 26.2, so it runs on a server and not on the player's client. Xaero PointShare is a client-side mod for Fabric, open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.11 – 26.2, and it shares map points between players. DaysCounter is a client-side Fabric mod for 26.2 – 26.3 and is not open source, so it can also be used for the day display.
