Display the Day Counter on Your Screen

Enable the Counter

The day counter should appear automatically above your hotbar once the data pack is active in your world. If you don't see it right away, reload the data pack.

Reload the Data Pack

Open your chat and type:

`

/reload

`

The day counter should now be visible on your screen, showing your current survival day number in a clean, vanilla-friendly style.

Verify It's Working

Play normally through a day-night cycle. Watch the number increment when you sleep or when the day naturally advances. The counter updates automatically as time passes in your world.

If the counter still doesn't appear after reloading, check that the data pack is properly installed and enabled in your world settings. Each player in multiplayer sees their own independent counter, so don't worry if others' numbers differ from yours.
