Chronos Counter Data Pack FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

Why isn't the day counter showing up above my hotbar?
Make sure the data pack is properly loaded in your world—check the data pack list in world settings to confirm it's enabled. If it's enabled but still not visible, try reloading your world or checking that you're not using a conflicting HUD mod that might be covering the same area.
Does this work on servers or only single-player?
This data pack works on single-player worlds. For servers, the server administrator would need to add it to the server's datapacks folder, and all players would see the counter.
Can I use this on a world I've already been playing?
Yes, you can add this data pack to an existing world without any issues—just place the pack file in your datapacks folder and reload the world. The counter will start displaying immediately and track your actual world day.
What if the day counter is showing the wrong number?
The counter displays your world's actual day count based on Minecraft's internal time. If it seems wrong, make sure you haven't used commands like `/time set` that would alter the world time, or try reloading the world to refresh the display.
Does the counter disappear when I pause the game?
The counter display behavior depends on your HUD settings—it typically remains visible on the pause screen so you can still see your day count without resuming.
Can I move the counter to a different position on my screen?
This data pack places the counter in a fixed position above your hotbar. If you need to customize its location, you would need to modify the data pack files directly.
Will this slow down my game or affect performance?
No, this data pack has minimal performance impact—it simply displays a number and doesn't add entities, blocks, or complex calculations to your world.
Does it work with other HUD mods or resource packs?
It should work alongside most resource packs without issues. However, if you're using other mods that heavily modify your HUD or hotbar display, there might be visual conflicts—test it in-game to be sure.
How do I uninstall the data pack if I don't want it anymore?
Simply remove the data pack file from your world's datapacks folder and reload the world—the counter will disappear and your world will function normally.
Does the counter reset if I die in hardcore mode?
No, the counter continues to track world time regardless of player deaths. In hardcore mode, your world day counter will keep running until you lose and the world is deleted.
