Challenge Timer

A lightweight, server-side challenge timer for Minecraft. Track your playtime and in-game day right in the action bar, run death-is-failure challenges, and start fresh worlds on demand — all through simple /ct commands.

Perfect for speedruns, hardcore-style challenges, "how many days can you survive" runs, and multiplayer challenge servers.

✨ Features

  • ⏱️ Live action-bar display — shows your played time and the current in-game day, always visible while you play.
  • 🎛️ Three display modes — show the timer only, the day only, or both side by side.
  • 💀 Challenge mode — when a player dies, the challenge counts as failed: the timer freezes, the death screen is skipped, and everyone is instantly put into spectator mode with a bold "Challenge failed" title.
  • 🌍 One-command world restart — /ct reset deletes the world and generates a brand-new one with a fresh random seed. As a safety guard, it only runs when all players are in spectator mode.
  • 🌐 Automatic language — every message appears in German or English, automatically based on each player's game language. No config needed.
  • 🪶 Server-side & lightweight — runs entirely on the server. Players don't need to install anything.

🎮 Commands

All players can view info; changing settings requires operator/gamemaster permission (op level 2).

Command Permission Description
/ct help Everyone Show all commands
/ct status Everyone Show elapsed time, in-game day and all settings
/ct mode both Operator Display day and time
/ct mode timer Operator Display the time only
/ct mode days Operator Display the day only
/ct challenge on / off Operator Toggle: on death the challenge counts as failed
/ct reset Operator Restart the world with a new seed (only if everyone is in spectator)

⚠️ Important: /ct reset

/ct reset permanently deletes the current world and regenerates it with a new seed — this cannot be undone. It is intentionally locked behind the requirement that all online players are in spectator mode (which naturally happens after a failed challenge). After the reset the server stops; simply re-open / rejoin the world to drop into the freshly generated world.

Works on dedicated servers and in singleplayer. Since it's server-side, only the server (or the world host) needs the mod.
