WhyJan's Timer Datapack
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This custom datapack displays a very simple timer/stopwatch directly above your hotbar.
Features
- doesn't require OP to be used (good for servers)
- easy to use
- simple, minimal look
- lag/vanilla friendly
How to use
/trigger <command>
Possible actions:
- StartTimer -> Starts the timer at 0h 0m 0s
- PauseTimer -> Pauses the timer (does not reset the time)
- ResumeTimer -> Resumes the timer at the time before the pause
- EndTimer -> Prints out a message in chat with the final time + resets the timer to 0h 0m 0s
- ResetTimer -> resets the timer to 0h 0m 0s
- ToggleMode -> Toggles the timer between the two time formats: -h -m -s / hh:mm:ss
