This is a pretty simple mod. It shows the In-Game Time on top left of the screen.

It can be configured to

Show-hide the 'In-Game Time: ' string
Set the Update rate of the timer (by default each tick)
Press 'o' to stop the timer

Config File:

#Show/hide the 'In-Game Time: ' string

show_text = true

#Each how many ticks should the timer be updated? (20 ticks = 1 second)

update_rate = 1

Old 1.12 features and config
