Philosophy
TickTally is not a parenting tool.
It doesn't judge, limit, or control how you play.
It simply tells you the truth:
how much time you've actually spent in the game.
What you do with that information is entirely up to you.
How It Works
- Uses Minecraft's built-in stats for initial world imports
- Tracks active playtime using client ticks
- Saves progress periodically to prevent loss
- Stores everything locally in:
.minecraft/config/ticktally.json
- Stores corrupted saves in:
.minecraft/config/corrupt_<total_played_milliseconds_at_the_time_of_corruption>_ticktally.json
Installation
- Install Fabric Loader
- Install Fabric API
- Drop the
.jarinto yourmodsfolder - Launch the game
- Also, you are required to have Fabric API, Cloth Config API & Mod Menu installed too.
Done.
Why TickTally?
Minecraft doesn't tell you how long you've actually played.
TickTally fills that gap:
- No bloated UI
- No unnecessary features
- No invasive tracking
Just a single number that quietly grows with your journey

Final Note
This mod was built with a simple goal: make something small, useful, and honest.
If it helps you even a little — it did its job.
And I, the creator of this mod, only make any software when I either want to learn something or felt the need of it and thought that others might need this too, and this project, goes into the second category.
