About this Mod
📅 Day Counter
Day Counter is a lightweight Fabric client-side mod that displays the current Minecraft day directly on the HUD.
The mod automatically detects the current game mode (Hardcore, Survival, or Creative) and allows the label to be shown, replaced with custom text, or disabled entirely for a clean, minimal interface.
Designed to be simple and non-intrusive, Day Counter works seamlessly with shaders, resource packs, and custom GUI scales.
