## How to use
### Opening the settings
1. Open the pause menu (Escape key).
2. Click the **"Day Counter Settings"** button — it appears just above "Save and Quit / Disconnect".
3. A screen opens with all the controls and a live preview of the counter.
### Positioning the counter
- **Drag**: Click and drag the blue-outlined preview box to move it anywhere.
- **Presets**: The five preset buttons (Top-Left, Top-Center, etc.) snap the counter to common positions.
- **Center H / Center V**: Align the counter exactly to the horizontal or vertical center of the screen.
- **Arrow keys**: Nudge the counter 1 pixel at a time. Hold Shift while pressing an arrow key to move 5 pixels at once.
### Resizing
- **+ / − buttons**: Increase or decrease the scale in 0.25× steps (range: 0.5× to 5.0×).
- **Mouse scroll**: Hover over the preview box and scroll to resize quickly.
### Language
Cycle through six display languages with the ‹ and › buttons: English, Español, Português, Français, Русский, 中文. The counter label (e.g. "Day", "Día", "День") updates immediately.
### Font
Switch between **Default** (the standard Minecraft GUI font) and **Filtered** (uses the alternate font renderer, which can look different depending on your Unicode font settings).
### Text case
Toggle between:
- **Normal** — "Day: 0"
- **ALL CAPS** — "DAY: 0"
- **lowercase** — "day: 0"
### Saving
- Click **Done** (or press Escape) to save all changes and return to the pause menu.
- Settings are saved to `config/day-counter.json` and persist across restarts.
