By default, morning announcements pop up on your screen as soon as dawn breaks, which can briefly cover the center of your view during combat or building. You can move the day counter to a less intrusive spot directly through the chat window.
Enabling Operator Access
To open the settings menu, your account needs operator permissions. In a single-player world without cheats enabled, pause the game, click Open to LAN, set Allow Commands to ON, and start the LAN session. On a multiplayer server, an administrator must grant you operator status first.
Choosing Your Display Position
1. Open the chat window and run /function day_counter:config.
2. Keep chat open (T by default) so your mouse cursor can click the interactive settings menu in the chat log.
3. Select your preferred display position from the clickable options:
- Title: Large text across the middle of your screen.
- Subtitle: Smaller text positioned below the main title area.
- Action Bar: Compact text right above your hotbar, keeping the center of your view unobstructed.
4.
Once you are happy with the display area, single-player users who used Open to LAN can save and quit to the title screen, then reload the world to disable cheats again while keeping their chosen layout.
