MC Day Counter

A Fabric client mod for Minecraft that highlights when a new in-game day begins. The day number matches the same counter as the F3 debug screen (Day #N), including worlds that use the overworld day timeline when available.

What it does

When the day index advances (new day at the sunrise boundary), a label like Day #123 appears large in the center of the screen for a short hold, then animates (position and scale) to sit beside the hotbar on the right.
Optionally, the current day can stay visible next to the hotbar when nothing is animating.

Features

F3-consistent day — Uses the overworld day timeline when the registry provides it; otherwise falls back to the classic day-from-ticks behavior.
Configurable — Animation length, popup scale, idle hotbar label, and text color (via Mod Menu + Cloth Config when those mods are installed).
JSON config — Settings are also written to config/mc_day_counter.json in your game folder.
