Better Days Display Data Pack FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Why isn't my day counter showing up?
Type `/reload` in your chat to refresh the data pack and make the counter appear. If it still doesn't show, make sure the data pack is enabled in your world settings and restart your game.
How do I turn off the day counter?
Open the settings menu with `/function betterdays:settings/open` and look for the option to disable the visual display. You can customize visibility without uninstalling the data pack.
Can I move where the day counter appears on my screen?
Yes, use `/function betterdays:settings/open` to access the settings menu where you can adjust the position of the counter above your hotbar.
Do milestone rewards happen automatically or do I have to do something?
Milestone rewards trigger automatically when you reach special days like 7, 25, 50, or 100—you'll see custom messages, hear sounds, and see particle effects without needing to do anything.
Will I get milestone rewards multiple times if I play the same world for a long time?
No, each milestone reward only triggers once per player to keep things balanced, even if you play for thousands of days.
Does the day counter work in multiplayer?
Yes, each player gets their own personal day counter and milestone rewards tracked separately, so everyone can see their individual survival progress.
What happens if I die—does my day counter reset?
The day counter tracks in-game days, not lives, so dying does not reset your counter; you'll continue from where you left off the next day.
Does this data pack work with other mods?
Yes, this is a data pack that runs on vanilla mechanics and doesn't require any mods, so it's compatible with most modded setups.
Can I customize what the milestone messages say?
You can adjust the counter's appearance and behavior through the settings menu, though deep customization of milestone text may require editing the data pack files directly.
Does the day counter affect my world's performance?
No, the data pack runs smoothly in the background without noticeable performance impact on your game.
