About this Mod
Counter Mod

This mod displays an in-game overlay that tracks days, deaths, and in-game time. It was designed primarily for Minecraft content creators who want to avoid manually editing these counters into their videos — especially for "100 Days" or Hardcore challenges.
I originally created this mod to save myself time editing my own gameplay videos, but quickly realized it could also help players who want better time awareness in solo adventures, long-term survival, or multiplayer series.
🛠️ Features
- Death Count: The mod automatically tracks your deaths and now includes automatic and manual sync options to ensure your death count is always correct.
- Flexible Placement: Choose from twelve total overlay positions to perfectly integrate the counter into your screen layout.
- Customization: Fine-tune the counter's look using the Scale Slider to adjust its size, and use the Offset Slider for the Bottom-Center position to move it vertically, ensuring it doesn't conflict with other modpack UIs.
- Visuals & Sound: Includes one clean overlay style, basic icons, and random death sounds.
Whether you're a content creator or a player who likes visual feedback, this mod brings a simple and stylish way to track your journey.
🎁 A more complete and customizable version — featuring multiple overlay styles and icon themes — is currently available exclusively on my Patreon while the mod is still in development. Supporting the project helps me continue adding more styles and features.
🌟 This enhanced version will eventually be released for free in the future, once development is further along.
