Ultimate Daycount
A lightweight Paper plugin that tracks the number of in-game days on your Minecraft server.
What does it do?
Ever wanted to know how many days your server has survived? Just type /daycount and you'll see it instantly. The plugin is smart enough to pause time when nobody's online, so the counter stays meaningful and accurate.
Features
- Day tracking — Counts total days based on in-game world time
- Smart pause — Freezes the daylight cycle when no players are online
- Multilingual — Full support for English and French
- Auto-updating config — New config keys are added automatically on update, without losing your settings
- Hot reload — Reload the config in-game with
/daycount reload
