Animated Timer

## Introduction Animated Timer (AT) data pack adds an in-game timer via the actionbar field of Minecraft’s HUD. A wide range of functions ensures a simple yet versatile configuration, allowing you to customize your timer according to your likings and needs. ## Features In its original and unmodified state, features include: - Count-up & count-down - Multiple render (display) types - Both static (never changing) and animated (always changing) color configuration - General style configuration (bold & italic text) - Pre-built animations - Profiles (ability to save current configuration & load at a later time) - Trigger scoreboards for complete configuration & interaction even if cheats are disabled - Advanced features for map makers (facilitated embedding into external projects) ## Controlling the timer AT can be controlled the following way: | Description | Cheats enabled | Without cheats | |---|---|---| | Start / resume the timer | ```/function at:continue``` | ```/trigger continue``` | | Pause the timer | ```/function at:pause``` | ```/trigger pause``` | | Set timer to its initial value and start it | ```/function at:reset``` | ```/trigger reset``` | | Set timer to zero and stay paused | ```/function at:reboot``` | ```/trigger reboot``` | !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/rxao5kRO/images/a11cacab2c32d429d5effc59a74a491387bc4431.gif) ## Manually setting time In some situations, you may want to alter the current time manually. This can be done either with a function in the _at-time_ namespace or with _/trigger_: | Description | Cheats enabled | Without cheats | |---|---|---| | Add one second | ```/function at-time:add/second``` | | | Remove one second | ```/function at-time:remove/second``` | | | Set seconds | ```/function at-time:set/seconds/10``` | ```/trigger seconds set 10``` | | Add one minute | ```/function at-time:add/minute``` | | | Remove one minute | ```/function at-time:remove/minute``` | | | Set minutes | ```/function at-time:set/minutes/15``` | ```/trigger minutes set 15``` | | Add one hour | ```/function at-time:add/hour``` | | | Remove one hour | ```/function at-time:remove/hour``` | | | Set hours | ```/function at-time:set/hours/3``` | ```/trigger hours set 3``` | | Add one day | ```/function at-time:add/day``` | | | Remove one day | ```/function at-time:remove/day``` | | | Set days | ```/function at-time:set/days/7``` | ```/trigger days set 7``` | Note: The above functions that include _at-time:set_ are just examples. In fact, a multitude of _set_ functions are available for use. !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/rxao5kRO/images/7a3f621fbb9c2ff84b8336ef1899f860555e4cca.gif) ## Timer modes AT is counting up by default but count-down is also available. You can toggle between both count modes with a single command: | Description | Cheats enabled | Without cheats | |---|---|---| | Switch between timer modes | ```/function at-conf:mode``` | ```/trigger mode``` | !(https://cdn.modrinth.com/data/rxao5kRO/images/f1352f7a815e908f2597074238d8fe72f6c3185e.gif) ## How to upgrade 1.
