The record

Purpose: Actually Played tracks time spent playing on each Minecraft server and singleplayer world separately from time spent AFK.
AFK detection: After five minutes without activity, the counter stops and reclassifies the just-counted idle time as AFK.
Activity signals: Activity includes movement intent, camera rotation, keyboard and mouse input, and interactions such as breaking or placing blocks.
Client-side use: The mod works client-side on servers without requiring server installation, and the project says it does not communicate with servers.
Supported versions: The README lists Minecraft 1.7.10, 1.12.2, 1.16.5, 1.20.1, and 1.21.1, with Forge, Fabric, or NeoForge support depending on version.
Local data: Playtime history is stored as readable, hand-editable JSON in the local Minecraft configuration directory.
Privacy: The README says there is no network traffic or telemetry and that data stays on the user's machine.
Data durability: The README describes atomic saves, autosave-based crash recovery, and setting damaged data files aside instead of deleting them.
History detail: Sessions retain full detail for 90 days, after which older sessions are merged into monthly summaries.
Notable limitation: Realms connections are not tracked because the client receives no stable identifier for them.
Configuration: On Minecraft 1.16 and later, settings are edited in a properties file rather than through an in-game settings screen.
Support and contributions: The README invites bug reports, translation contributions, and pull requests through the project's issue tracker and repository.
License: The project uses the MIT license, which the README says permits modification, modpack bundling, and commercial redistribution when the copyright notice is retained.
Maker: The GitHub profile identifies the maker as Julien Marcon and lists Haute-Loire, France.
Price from: Free
