Better Days Display

A polished and multiplayer-friendly day counter datapack for Minecraft 1.21.x, with milestone celebrations, rewards, and dedicated version packages for full compatibility.

Track your survival journey day after day, celebrate key milestones, and add a little extra life to your world without cluttering your gameplay.

Settings command: /function betterdays:settings/open

🌟 Features

• Visual Day Counter: Displays the current survived day in the action bar in a clean vanilla-friendly style.
• Milestone Celebrations: Unique milestone moments for days like 1, 7, 13, 25, 42, 50, 75, every hundred, legendary numbers like 404, 666, 777, 888, 999, and every thousand up to 10,000.
• Special Effects & Rewards: Some milestones include fun effects, sounds, or small thematic rewards to celebrate progress.
• Roleplay Flavor: Milestones use custom titles and messages instead of generic “milestone reached” text.
• Per-Player Progress: Each player tracks their own survived days independently in multiplayer.
• Robust Day Tracking: The datapack tracks survived days per player using a safer internal system designed for regular long-term worlds.
• One-Time Milestones: Milestone events trigger once per player, avoiding spam and duplicate rewards.
• Lightweight: No mods required, no setup commands for normal use, just install and play.
• Version-Specific Releases: Separate packaged versions are prepared for the different Minecraft 1.21.x datapack formats for the best compatibility possible.
