The Status Effect Timer mod for Minecraft is a lightweight utility designed to enhance the vanilla Heads-Up Display by providing precise countdown timers for all active status effects. This mod directly addresses the inconvenience of needing to open your inventory and close the recipe book simply to check how much time remains on a beneficial or detrimental effect. By overlaying this crucial information directly onto the effect icons, players can maintain better situational awareness without interrupting their gameplay flow, making it an indispensable tool for any player who values efficiency and immediate feedback in their Minecraft experience. It offers a clean and unobtrusive way to manage your buffs and debuffs. This mod operates by subtly modifying the existing vanilla status effect HUD to display the remaining duration of each effect. When an effect is active, a timer will appear directly on its icon, indicating the exact time left. If the status effect also has an amplifier, such as 'Haste II' or 'Strength III', the amplifier number will be displayed alongside the timer. The time is presented in a user-friendly format: seconds for shorter durations, minutes (indicated by 'm') for effects lasting longer than a minute, and hours (indicated by 'h') for those exceeding sixty minutes. This thoughtful presentation ensures that the information is always easy to read and understand at a glance, even during intense gameplay moments. The Status Effect Timer mod is built for the Fabric mod loader and is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.21.8, 1.21.9, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, as well as the 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2 snapshots. It is designed to be a client-side mod, meaning it is required on the player's client to display the timers. Server-side installation is not supported or necessary for this mod's functionality, as its purpose is to alter the visual interface for the individual player. This ensures a straightforward installation process without requiring any server-side modifications or configurations, making it easy to add to any existing modpack. To install the Status Effect Timer mod, you should place the mod file into the 'mods' folder of your Fabric installation. This is the standard procedure for installing any Fabric mod. Before launching Minecraft, it is recommended to ensure that you have the correct version of the Fabric API installed, as it is a prerequisite for most Fabric mods. Additionally, if you are using any client modifications that alter the GUI, such as 'Slight' Gui Modifications with the 'fluidStatusEffects' option enabled, or Giselbaer's Durability Viewer, you may need to adjust their settings or disable conflicting features to prevent visual glitches or incompatibilities. For Feather Client users, ensure the 'Vanilla Effect Overlay' is set to 'Off' or 'Bar'.
