About this project
What does Brand New Day add?
Brand New Day is a client-side mod that shows a screen at the start of each day. The screen displays an animated day counter and statistics of what the player has done that day. It's a nice transition between night and day, and an easy way to keep track of how many days you've played.
The statistics it currently shows are:
Blocks broken, blocks travelled, deaths, items crafted and monsters slain.
Any statistic can be enabled/disabled inside the config. The header image that's shown at the top of the screen, by default the sun and a cat, can be changed as well in ./config/brandnewday/header/.
All available config options:
showHeader default true
If the header image should be shown at the top of the new day screen.
showDayCount default true
If the current day number should be shown on the new day screen.
showStats default true
If a summary of the previous day should be shown. Each line can be toggled individually below.
playSound default true
If a sound plays when the new day screen appears.
newDayScreenDurationTicks default 200, min 1, max 1200
How many ticks the new day screen stays on screen in total. 20 ticks = 1 second.

guiScaleModifier default 1.0f, min 0.1, max 5.0
