Your timer. Your adventure.

A Minecraft-style stopwatch and countdown for survival worlds, building projects, runs and challenges with friends. Count up. Count down. Find your perfect spot on screen.

Make every second yours

• Stopwatch and countdown: start, pause, resume, stop, reset, undo and splits. Optional warnings and a large on-screen expiration message.
• Hardcore friendly: press B for the native menu. No cheats needed for your local timer. Optional Mod Menu integration and local /et commands.
• Your HUD, your style: drag-and-drop editor, nine anchors, scaling, backgrounds, 16 Minecraft colors, rainbow, custom hex colors and time formats.
• Saved progress: settings and timers per world/server. A running timer returns paused after restarting Minecraft.
• Four languages: English, German, French and Spanish; game-language selection, English fallback and a manual override.

Install in a minute

Minecraft Java Edition 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, Java 25. Each Minecraft-family JAR works with Fabric, Quilt, Forge and NeoForge, on clients and matching dedicated mod servers.

1. Download the matching mod JAR and put it in mods/. Use the 26.1 file for 26.1 / 26.1.1 / 26.1.2; otherwise match 26.2 or 26.3.
2. Join a world or server and press B.
3. Choose Stopwatch or Countdown and press Start. Try 2h for a two-hour challenge.

Enhanced Timer does not require Fabric API or QSL. Mod Menu is optional; install its own dependencies if used. Install only the matching JAR, not every variant.

Better together

Your local timer works on ordinary servers without a server installation. Add Enhanced Timer to a matching modded server for synchronized personal, global and team timers with permissions. Modded players get the HUD; players without the mod can follow shared time through a bossbar or optional actionbar.

For Spigot, Paper, Purpur and Folia, a separate server plugin is available separately. Put enhancedtimer-server-1.0.0.jar in plugins/, and install only one Enhanced Timer implementation per server.

Runs, builds and challenges

Optional helpers: start on movement, pause on death, Nether/End/dragon splits and stop on the dragon advancement. You choose your challenge rules. For competitive runs, check your category’s requirements; this is not an RTA/IGT comparison or leaderboard integration.
