🌟 Features
- Visual Day Counter: Displays the current survived day in the action bar in a clean vanilla-friendly style.
- Milestone Celebrations: Unique milestone moments for days like 1, 7, 13, 25, 42, 50, 75, every hundred, legendary numbers like 404, 666, 777, 888, 999, and every thousand up to 10,000.
- Special Effects & Rewards: Some milestones include fun effects, sounds, or small thematic rewards to celebrate progress.

- Per-Player Progress: Each player tracks their own survived days independently in multiplayer.

- One-Time Milestones: Milestone events trigger once per player, avoiding spam and duplicate rewards.
- Lightweight: No mods required, no setup commands for normal use, just install and play.
- Version-Specific Releases: Separate packaged versions are prepared for the different Minecraft 1.21.x datapack formats for the best compatibility possible.
