Overview

Voiid Countdown Timer is a simple timer plugin for Minecraft servers. Although it is simple, it can be very advanced if you know how to get the most out of it. It is compatible with Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Purpur 1.13+. Paper is highly recommended due to its great performance and full compatibility.

​
Key Features

  • Customization of timers (time, text, formats, sounds, and more)
  • Events with a simple API, but very powerful with other plugins, such as ConditionalEvents
  • Support for placeholders via PlaceholderAPI
  • Easy configuration via config.yml

​
What is the availability of VCT?

Voiid Countdown Timer has two separate and somewhat different versions:
  • Datapack (V1): Compatible with Minecraft Vanilla 1.15+ in single or multiplayer worlds. It could be considered the Lite version of VCT, without as many features as the plugin.
  • Plugin (V2): Compatible with Bukkit, Spigot, Paper, and Purpur 1.13+. It can be considered the definitive version of VCT, with features that can be added over time.
Voiid Countdown Timer started out as a datapack, but then evolved into a plugin version. Although the datapack version continues to be updated to work with more versions, the plugin will have features that the datapack will not have.

​
Why choose VCT?

KISS

VCT follows the KISS principle.
It’s literally as simple as possible, but still complete and powerful.
You can set up a countdown in seconds, and if you want, extend it with advanced customization.

You’re the boss

It’s your server, your rules.
VCT doesn’t force you into one way of doing things: you decide how timers look, sound, and behave.
Whether it’s a simple countdown or complex events with other plugins, VCT adapts to your direction.

I would like to try the experimental versions of VCT. Where can I find them?

The experimental versions contain several bugs and features that may be added to VCT releases. Everything shown in the experimental versions is subject to change.

  • “v1.4.0-rc1”: Release Candidate Version <number> - These are the versions that are in the final stages before going into production.
When you try out an experimental version, please send us your feedback. We love hearing your opinion so we can continue to improve!

​
Important Things

  • You must have Minecraft 1.13 or later, as plugin dependencies do not exist or are broken in older versions. If players connect with ViaBackwards, the timer may not display correctly.
  • Craftbukkit is incompatible with VCT. Please use Spigot, Paper, or Purpur to use VCT in optimal conditions.
  • Unexpected bugs may be found in some versions. If this happens, please open an issue in the Github repository.
