Track your server's age — one day at a time.
Overview
DaysCounter is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that tracks how many in-game days have passed on your server since it launched. Every time a new Minecraft day begins, all online players see a beautiful action bar animation — and the count is saved permanently, surviving restarts and crashes.
✨ Features
- Persistent Day Counter — Saved to data.yml, survives server restarts
- 4 Unique Action Bar Animations — Typewriter, Slide, Stars, Rainbow (or Random!)
- Per-Animation Sounds — Each animation has its own sound effects in sync with the motion
- Smart Skip Detection — Detects /time set and /time add commands to avoid false counts
- Fully Translatable — Every string lives in messages.yml with {placeholder} support
- Live Configuration — Switch animations, enable/disable, and set days without restarting
- Zero Dependencies — Pure Spigot API, no external libraries
- API-Friendly — Other plugins can call DayManager methods directly
Animations
| # | Name | Description | Sound |
| 1 | Typewriter | Text types character by character, blinks in [ brackets ], then erases from both ends | Item pickup clicks + orb chime |
| 2 | Slide | Text slides in from the right, lands with a bell, decorates with »» arrows, exits left | Whoosh tones + bell on landing |
| 3 | Stars | ✦ Stars build up around the text with escalating bells, pulse yellow/orange, then fade | Rising bell notes + orb sparkle |
| 4 | Rainbow | Per-character rainbow colors with chime notes cycling as a scrolling marquee, then shrinks | Chime notes cycling in pitch |
| 5 | Random | Picks a random animation each new day | Depends on chosen animation |
