Day Counter

Day Counter is a lightweight survival datapack for Minecraft that displays how many days you have already played in your world. It is especially suited for Hardcore and long-term survival players who want a clean and immersive way to track their progress without distracting from gameplay.

Project Info

Due to changes in Minecraft's tag detection, the days can no longer be displayed via a data pack. There are no plans for further updates for versions after 1.21.11. If Minecraft changes the tag detection again so that the data pack works again, it will be a while.

The datapack automatically counts the days played in a world and requires no configuration at all. Once installed, it works instantly and is fully designed for survival gameplay. Thanks to its extremely efficient implementation, it has virtually no impact on performance, making it ideal even for long-running worlds.

The display is intentionally minimalistic and blends seamlessly into the game, allowing players to stay focused on survival while still keeping track of their progress. This makes Day Counter a perfect addition for Hardcore worlds, where every day survived truly matters.
