## 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)

## Installation

After choosing one of the [project pages ](/docs/about/references.md)and downloading AT from there, you can visit [this website](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Tutorials/Installing_a_data_pack) for further instructions on how to install it.
