Why Download This Project?

This Datapack is designed for anyone who wants to enhance their Minecraft world with a fully customizable and visually appealing timer and countdown system. Whether you're hosting complex mini-games, timing in-game events, or simply adding more functionality to your builds, this project offers a range of useful features:

  • Versatile Timer and Countdown System: Easily set up a timer or countdown for any scenario. From races to timed challenges, this Datapack allows you to manage in-game time with precision. The countdown can be customized down to the second, and there are no limits on how long you can set it — whether it's a short 10-second sprint or a massive 1000-hour countdown for long-term events.

  • 16 Color Options & Color Wave Mode: Choose from 16 different colors to match your Minecraft theme, build, or event. Plus a "color wave" mode, adding even more dynamic visual customization to your timers and countdowns.

  • Simple and Intuitive Menu: You don’t need to deal with complicated setups or commands. The user-friendly menu makes it easy to start, pause, resume, or reset the timer, and you can even hide it from chat if you want a cleaner interface.

  • Lightweight and Non-Intrusive: The Datapack integrates seamlessly into your existing Minecraft world without causing lag or disrupting gameplay. It's designed to enhance the experience without adding unnecessary complexity.

How does the pack work?

First: Paste the Datapack in your world and reload. After that you should see this message in chat.

start message of the datapack

To go trough the menues, you must click on name in the chat.

  • Settings: In this menu, you can start, pause, or resume the timer. Additionally, you have the option to disable the timer from appearing over your hotbar for a cleaner experience but the timer wont stop!

  • Color Settings: Opens a submenu where you can choose from 16 different colors to customize the timer's appearance and a dynamic color wave mode. If you want too, you suggest options for the color wave mode on my discord server

  • Countdown: This option allows you to start a countdown using a bossbar. You can easily adjust the time via a submenu with options to add or subtract in increments of 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute, 10 minutes, 1 hour, or 10 hours. There's no upper limit on the countdown, so feel free to set it as high as you'd like—even up to 1000 hours!

  • Help: Contains credits, an uninstall option, and a debug menu. The debug menu displays the timer's scoreboard in the sidebar for easy monitoring.

If you need help with this pack, check out my discord server here!

Do not use this pack on multiplayer servers, may cause some issues!!!
