🌟 Features

Visual Day Counter: Displays the current survived day in the action bar in a clean vanilla-friendly style.
Milestone Celebrations: Unique milestone moments for days like 1, 7, 13, 25, 42, 50, 75, every hundred, legendary numbers like 404, 666, 777, 888, 999, and every thousand up to 10,000.
Special Effects & Rewards: Some milestones include fun effects, sounds, or small thematic rewards to celebrate progress.
Roleplay Flavor: Milestones use custom titles and messages instead of generic “milestone reached” text.
Per-Player Progress: Each player tracks their own survived days independently in multiplayer.
Robust Day Tracking: The datapack tracks survived days per player using a safer internal system designed for regular long-term worlds.
One-Time Milestones: Milestone events trigger once per player, avoiding spam and duplicate rewards.
Lightweight: No mods required, no setup commands for normal use, just install and play.
Version-Specific Releases: Separate packaged versions are prepared for the different Minecraft 1.21.x datapack formats for the best compatibility possible.
