So what is it?

A Minecraft add-on that puts your coordinates and the current day count in the top left corner of your screen while you play. It comes as two parts: a datapack, which is the actual logic, and a resourcepack, which is required for the display to line up correctly on screen. Both need to be installed together or the datapack will not work as intended. The core feature is simple: it tracks your player's position and shows those coordinates continuously in the corner of the screen, alongside a running count of how many in-game days have passed since the world started. This is aimed at players who want a lightweight heads-up display without opening a map or typing commands to check their location or the date. Installation is straightforward. You download both the datapack and resourcepack as zip files, drop the resourcepack into your Minecraft resourcepacks folder and turn it on in the options menu, then drop the datapack into the datapacks folder of the specific save you want to use it on. Once you join that world, the display starts working automatically with no further setup or commands needed. The project credits VSH shaders and the use of negative spaces in the resourcepack for making the actionbar text align correctly to the left top corner, which suggests the display relies on some visual tricks within Minecraft's existing action bar system rather than a custom on-screen overlay built from scratch. This is a small, single purpose tool rather than a full mod or large gameplay overhaul. It does not add new blocks, items, or mechanics, it only changes what information is visible on your screen while you play. Anyone running a Minecraft server or single player world who wants an always visible coordinate and day counter, without needing an external mod loader, would be the natural audience. There is no information in the source material about compatibility with other resourcepacks, shaders, or server side plugins, so users combining it with other visual mods should test carefully.
