Philosophy

TickTally is not a parenting tool.

It doesn’t judge, limit, or control how you play.

It simply tells you the truth:

how much time you’ve actually spent in the game.

What you do with that information is entirely up to you.

How It Works

• Uses Minecraft’s built-in stats for initial world imports
• Tracks active playtime using client ticks
• Saves progress periodically to prevent loss
• Stores everything locally in:

.minecraft/config/ticktally.json

• Stores corrupted saves in:

.minecraft/config/corrupt_<total_played_milliseconds_at_the_time_of_corruption>_ticktally.json

Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader
2. Install Fabric API
3. Drop the .jar into your mods folder
4. Launch the game
5. Also, you are required to have Fabric API, Cloth Config API & Mod Menu installed too.

Done.

Why TickTally?

Minecraft doesn’t tell you how long you’ve actually played.

TickTally fills that gap:

• No bloated UI
• No unnecessary features
• No invasive tracking

Just a single number that quietly grows with your journey

Final Note

This mod was built with a simple goal: make something small, useful, and honest.

If it helps you even a little — it did its job.

And I, the creator of this mod, only make any software when I either want to learn something or felt the need of it and thought that others might need this too, and this project, goes into the second category.
