PlayClock

PlayClock is a client-side Fabric Minecraft mod that tracks your server playtime and singleplayer world playtime directly inside Minecraft — and turns it into clean, shareable playtime cards.

If you want a Minecraft playtime tracker mod with an in-game HUD, menu markers, hover tooltips, shareable summary cards, weekly & monthly recaps, AFK-aware tracking, and full Mod Menu settings, PlayClock is built for exactly that.

Why Use PlayClock?

PlayClock answers the questions vanilla Minecraft does not:

• How long have I played on this server, in total?
• How much did I play today, and this week?
• How long is my current session?
• When did I last open this world?
• What's my current daily play streak?

Everything shows up in the UI you already use — the server list, the world list, hover tooltips, and an in-game HUD — and any of it can be turned into a card you can copy straight into Discord.

Features

Tracking

• Tracks playtime for saved servers, direct-connect targets, LAN / localhost servers, and singleplayer worlds
• Shows today, total, session, and last played
• AFK-aware: idle time (no movement) is excluded from your totals — toggleable
• Reliable singleplayer saving: active world time is flushed quickly while playing and saved again when leaving a world or closing the client
• Retro-import: on first launch, your existing singleplayer worlds are backfilled from Minecraft's own playtime stats, so the mod isn't empty on day one

Shareable cards

• Generate a clean per-server / per-world card, or a weekly or monthly "Wrapped" recap
• Copy to clipboard (paste straight into Discord) or save as PNG
• Recap cards show a day-by-day chart (7 or 30 days), this period vs the previous one, your top server, streak, and active days
• Cards include your username and a customizable accent color (10 presets)

In-game HUD

• Text HUD with 3 layout variants — Minimal, Compact, Stacked
• Drag-and-drop position and adjustable scale via a live HUD editor
• Optional today and session lines

In menus

• Lightweight playtime markers in the server and world lists
• Mouse-follow hover tooltip with detailed stats
• Optional header summary in list screens

Quality of life

• Daily-play streak milestones with achievement toasts (3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 100, 180, 365 days)
• Weekly recap reminder — a once-a-week toast nudging you to open your summary
• Hotkeys for quick toggling and for opening the summary / HUD editor

Customization & languages

• Five UI color presets: Vanilla, Grass, Sunset, Amethyst, Cyberlime
• Fully custom UI colors with RGB / HEX editing in Mod Menu
• Configurable card accent, time format, and language override
• English, Русский, Українська

Privacy

• 100% client-side — nothing is sent anywhere
• All data is stored locally in JSON
