Very simple mod* that puts a red timer in the bottom right corner of the screen that shows how long you have been playing on a certain world/server. Inspired by Grian/Scar/Joel's Hardcore Series. No mods required on the server side.
I couldn't find an existing mod that could put a timer there, or it was needlessly complex. So I decided to make one myself.
This mod is built for Fabric (Fabric API is required). No Forge version is planned.
* No configuration required, just drop the jar file in the mods/ folder and start playing Minecraft with a timer!
How does this mod work?
This mod keeps track of how long you have been playing on a certain world (or server). The timer is managed locally, so it works even for servers that don't properly track your statistics. Only the first time when you join a world with this mod enabled, will the server statistics be queried to initialise the timer.
