About this Mod
Timekeeper is a simple and easy-to-use tick profiler data pack for Minecraft: Java Edition 1.19+. It measures the milliseconds per tick (MSPT) of the world/server you run it on.
Using it is very simple. Just type in/scoreboard players set $enabled timekeeper.var <insert number here>, and the datapack will keep track of the MSPT for however many ticks you specify. Once the time is done, it will print the average MSPT over the period to chat. (e.g. "Average MSPT over 50 ticks: 5")
If you want to continue profiling the tick rate indefinitely, you can use/scoreboard players set $enabled timekeeper.var -1, which will keep the bossbar up until told otherwise and thus will not print out a final average.
And that's all there is to it!

Timekeeper server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong datapack version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.4). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Timekeeper compatible with datapack and fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?
Timekeeper officially supports datapack, fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 1.21.4, 1.21.3, 1.21.2. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Timekeeper – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Timekeeper consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
