Tickwatch

Track playtime, kills, and deaths — server-side, lightweight, crash-safe.

Tickwatch quietly records how long each player has played and how many kills and deaths they
rack up, then stores it all in a clean JSON file. No client mod required, no commands to learn,
no impact on your TPS.

✨ Why Tickwatch?

• 🪶 Featherweight — tracking is one integer per online player per tick. That's it.
• 🖥️ Server-side only — your players join with a vanilla client. Install it on the server and forget it.
• 🔀 Fabric and NeoForge — same mod, both loaders.
• 💾 Crash-safe by design — atomic writes with a rotating backup. A sudden power loss or hard
  crash cannot corrupt your stats.
• ⚡ Never blocks the server — all disk writes run on a dedicated background thread.

📊 What it tracks

For every player, per world:

| Stat | Detail |
|------|--------|
| ⏱️ Playtime | Counted in ticks, with a human-readable 2h 14m 30s field |
| ⚔️ Kills | Mobs and players killed by that player |
| 💀 Deaths | Times that player died |

Stored at <world>/fiw-clock/stats.json:

{
  "players": {
    "069a79f4-44e9-4726-a5be-fca90e38aaf5": {
      "name": "Notch",
      "playTimeTicks": 144000,
      "playTimeFormatted": "2h 00m 00s",
      "kills": 12,
      "deaths": 3
    }
  }
}

Perfect for leaderboards, web dashboards, Discord bots, or anything that can read JSON.
