Challenge Timer

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.
