Justwilly’s Day Counter Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I turn the day counter on or off?
The counter is part of the mod's HUD and appears automatically once the mod is loaded. If you don't see it, check your HUD visibility settings and make sure the mod is actually enabled for that world.
Does the day counter start at day 1 or day 0?
It tracks the world's in-game day count, so a brand-new world begins at the first day and increases as time passes. The exact starting value matches your world's day number, not a separate counter.
Why does the day counter not match the day I see with the F3 debug screen?
The mod reads the same world day value the game uses, so any mismatch usually means you're looking at a different value like total time played or a per-session counter. Compare against the world's day number rather than raw tick counts.
Can I move the day counter to a different spot on the screen?
The counter is designed to sit above the hotbar, and the mod does not provide built-in repositioning. If you need it elsewhere, you'd rely on a separate HUD-editing mod rather than this one.
Does the day counter work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, it reads the day value from the world you're in, so it works on servers as long as the mod is installed on your client. Other players don't need the mod for you to see your own counter.
Will the day counter break if I sleep or skip the night?
No, sleeping advances the world time and the counter updates accordingly. You'll see the day number increase as expected after a night is skipped.
Does the day counter reset when I die or respawn?
No, the counter follows the world's day count, not your player's life, so dying and respawning doesn't reset it. Only starting a new world would begin a fresh count.
Is the day counter compatible with other HUD mods?
It generally coexists with other HUD mods since it only adds a small element above the hotbar. If two mods try to draw in the same spot, you may see overlap and need to adjust one of them.
Does the day counter affect performance or cause lag?
It's a lightweight HUD element that just reads and displays the world day, so it shouldn't noticeably impact performance. If you're seeing lag, look at other mods or your render settings first.
Can I use the day counter to track how long a project has taken?
Yes, note the day number when you start and compare it to the current day to see how many in-game days have passed. This is handy for long builds, farms, or survival challenges.
