Set Up a Custom Calendar System for Your World

Configuring Timeline Display

Timeline Mod displays the current date in days, months, and years automatically once installed. To customize how your calendar appears and functions:

1. Open your world and check the default timeline display—it typically appears as an on-screen element showing elapsed time in a calendar format.

2. Access your mod configuration files (usually in the config folder of your instance).

3. Adjust settings to control month length, year structure, and display position to match your roleplay narrative.

Pairing with Companion Mods

For the best immersive experience, install Chronicle Mod alongside Timeline Mod to create detailed in-world journals and records of events. This allows you to manually log story moments that align with the calendar dates.

Consider also adding Serene Seasons Mod, which synchronizes seasonal changes with your custom calendar, making the passage of time feel more natural and visually distinct.

Tracking Time Progression

The mod automatically counts days as you play. Use this counter as the foundation for your world's history—reference specific dates when building structures, creating bases, or marking significant roleplay events.
