Day Counter is a clean and lightweight Fabric mod that adds a simple day counter to your Minecraft HUD.
Instead of opening the F3 debug screen just to check the current day, this mod displays the day directly on your screen in a clean format like:
Day: 01
This is useful for survival players, hardcore worlds, Minecraft 100 Days challenges, multiplayer SMPs, content creators, and anyone who wants an easy way to track world progress.
