Nice Huds - Enhanced Interface and Calendar System

The Nice Huds modification significantly expands information display capabilities in the game by adding special status bars for players holding compasses, clocks, or recovery compasses. It also implements a full-fledged calendar system with in-game events triggered on specific dates and times. The datapack is fully compatible with multiplayer servers.

Main Features

In-game calendar and time system that doesn't conflict with /time commands and the standard day counter. You can choose to display time in 12-hour or 24-hour format.

Eight special events tied to various holidays: Easter, Christmas, Halloween, Day of the Dead, Friday the 13th, April Fools, Valentine's Day, and New Year's Eve.

When a new day begins, an action bar message displays the current day of the week and date.

When holding a compass, a panel appears showing coordinates and the direction the player is facing. The panel color changes depending on the dimension the player is in.

With a recovery compass, the coordinates of the player's last death location are displayed, also with changing panel color depending on the dimension.

Clocks show the current game time, date, and world weather based on the calendar system. The progress and color of the panel change depending on the time of day.

Clocks placed in item frames (including glowing ones) on walls also display the current time and date.

A command is available to send a timestamped message with the player's current coordinates to the chat.

In-Game Events

Easter: Takes place from April 1st to April 3rd each year. Rabbits sometimes drop Easter eggs that can either be broken (by holding right-click) for loot or simply placed like any other player head.

Christmas: December 24th each year. Shows a title message to all online players.

Halloween: October 31st each year. Some mobs have a 25% chance to spawn with either a carved pumpkin or a jack o'lantern.

Day of the Dead: November 2nd each year. Undead mobs become stronger and have a small regeneration effect.

Friday the 13th: Occurs on every Friday the 13th. Changes the weather to thunder and rain for the entire day.

April Fools: April 1st. Random mob sounds are played every full hour.

Valentine's Day: February 14th. Players have heart particles above them.

New Year's Eve: December 31st. Includes a countdown to the new year and a title message.

Creating Add-ons

You can create your own add-ons (such as new events) for this datapack. I highly recommend doing this and will be happy to see your creations.

You can use data from storage or scoreboard users.

Storage: eden:calendar global
(The storage contains data about everything related to time/dates)

Scoreboard: huds.calendar
Users: $12_hour, $24_hour, $minute, $day, $month, $year

You can understand how to set up new events by looking at the /data/huds/events/run.mcfunction file.

Installation and Configuration

The datapack usually only requires installation. Nothing else needs to be done - it works immediately after installation.

If you're playing on a PaperMC server (or its fork such as Purpur), make sure the allow-non-player-entities-on-scoreboards parameter is set to true in the Paper configuration files for all functions to work correctly.
