Frequently asked questions

How do I open the settings menu in game?
Open your chat window and run the command /function day_counter:config. This brings up an interactive menu in chat where you can click to toggle features and change display positions.
Why won't the game let me use the config command?
Running /function day_counter:config requires operator permissions. In singleplayer, make sure cheats are enabled—if they are off, temporarily open your world to LAN with cheats allowed to adjust your settings.
How do I stop the day alert from blocking the center of my screen?
Open the configuration menu with /function day_counter:config and change the display position. Switching the alert from the main title area to the action bar moves the text right above your hotbar so your view stays clear.
Does the day counter still trigger if I sleep in a bed?
Yes, sleeping through the night triggers the morning announcement just like waiting for sunrise naturally. As soon as you wake up at dawn, the new day count will appear on your screen.
