\n– Adds 1 to make it more intuitive (Day 1 instead of Day 0)
\n– Displays “Day X” in the action bar with a gold\/yellow color scheme
\n– Plays a pleasant experience orb sound effect
\n– Prevents duplicate notifications until the next day
\n– The datapack intelligently tracks which day has been displayed, ensuring
\nyou only see the notification once per morning – even if you’re playing for hours!<\/p>\n
