I've been learning a bit about functions, and have made a datapack which features a countdown timer for use in 'set-time-limit challenges'. It was specifically made for Rick Clark's Green Challenge, but can be easily adapted for use in any challenge where you aim to complete as much as you can within a specified time.
You click an object on your hotbar to start the timer.
While the countdown timer is running, you can keep an eye on the time remaining just above the hotbar (the 'action bar')
When the timer reaches zero, there are visible and audible indications that the time has finished, and you are placed into creative mode to enable you to check your score (unmolested by mobs!)
