svrUptime

⏱️ svrUptime

Two clean chat broadcasts a day — let everyone see exactly how long your world has been running.

svrUptime keeps a quiet running tally of how long your world has existed and announces it at the two natural turning points of the Minecraft day — dawn and dusk. No dashboards, no scoreboard clutter: just a clean chat readout when the sun comes up, a short flavor line when night falls, and an /uptime command for anyone curious in between. It runs entirely server-side, so vanilla clients can connect and see every message, and it works just as well in single-player. “Day 4,217” hits differently than a blank morning sky.

🆕 New in 1.2.7: sleeping no longer undercounts the day number, both clocks now read down to the tick, /uptime query can ask either clock on its own, and a new admin toggle decides whether Real Time counts time slept through. One jar runs on every Minecraft 26.x release — 26.1 through 26.3.

✨ Features

• 🌅 Two daily broadcasts, on the in-game clock. A full uptime report at dawn (start of each Minecraft day, ~06:00) and a short flavor line at dusk (~18:00, tick 12000) — each fires exactly once per day.
• 🕰️ Dual time views, down to the tick. (26.x) Every report shows uptime two ways: Minecraft Time (in-game days rolled up into a months → years → decades → … → millennia calendar) and Real Time (seconds → minutes → hours → days → … → decades). Both bottom out at exact ticks, so a reading is never rounded off.
• 😴 Sleep-aware day count. (26.x) When your players sleep through the night, those days still count — the day number matches the sunrises they actually lived through, not just the time the server spent simulating. An admin toggle decides whether Real Time counts them too: world time, or the server’s actual runtime.
• ⌨️ /uptime on demand. Anyone can query the current uptime at any moment, ask for either clock on its own, and choose how large a unit to roll up to — from ticks all the way to millennia. (Per-clock queries and tick units: 26.x.)
• 🎨 Configurable morning & evening messages. Set your own dawn and dusk text — standard Minecraft § color codes supported — in a plain JSON file.
• 🎚️ Independent toggles. Turn the uptime broadcast, the morning message, and the evening message on or off separately — live, in-game, no restart.
• ♻️ Live reload. Edit the config and apply it instantly with an admin command.
• 🧩 Server-side & universal. One jar runs on Fabric and NeoForge; vanilla clients need nothing, and it works in single-player too.

⌨️ Commands

Everything hangs off /uptime, with /ut as a shorthand alias for all of it. query and help are open to everyone; the admin branch requires gamemaster / operator permission.

| Command | Access | What it does |
|—|:—:|—|
| /uptime query | Everyone | Show the full uptime report (rolled all the way up to millennia) |
| /uptime query <unit> | Everyone | Same report, capped at a chosen largest unit — ticks, days, months, years, decades, centuries, millennia |
| /uptime query gametime [unit] | Everyone | (26.x) Minecraft Time only, same unit list as above |
| /uptime query realtime [unit] | Everyone | (26.x) Real Time only — ticks, seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years, decades |
| /uptime help | Everyone | List available commands (admin lines shown only to admins) |
| /uptime admin broadcast enable\|disable | Admin | Toggle the daily uptime report |
| /uptime admin morning enable\|disable | Admin | Toggle the dawn (morning) message |
| /uptime admin evening enable\|disable | Admin | Toggle the dusk (evening) message |
| /uptime admin sleeptime enable\|disable | Admin | (26.x) Whether Real Time counts the time sleeping fast-forwarded through — enabled: world time · disabled: actual server runtime |
| /uptime admin status | Admin | Show current toggles, the world clock, executed ticks, the fast-forwarded gap between them, and real days elapsed |
| /uptime admin reload | Admin | Re-read svruptime.json from disk |

/ut is a full redirect — anywhere you’d type /uptime, /ut works identically (/ut query years, /ut admin status, …).

Rows marked (26.x) arrived in 1.2.7. The 1.21.x back-ports run 1.2.5, which has everything else — note that there, uptime still counts only the ticks the server actually ran, so nights slept through don’t add to it.

⚙️ Configuration

The config lives at config/svruptime.json, is created on first launch with the defaults below, and hot-reloads with /uptime admin reload. Both message strings accept standard Minecraft § color/format codes, and the boolean flags are the same switches flipped by /uptime admin … — in-game changes are written straight back to the file, so command state and the file never drift apart.

{
  "broadcastEnabled": true,      // send the full uptime report at dawn
  "morningMessageEnabled": true, // send the morning message at dawn
  "eveningMessageEnabled": true, // send the evening message at dusk
  "realTimeIncludesSleep": true, // count sleep fast-forward in Real Time (26.x)
  "morningMessage": "§6☀ A new day has begun.",
  "eveningMessage": "§9☾ The night has come."
}
