Track playtime in Statistics

Lots of people wonder how many hours they have put into the game. It would be a wonderfully useful feature to track playtime in the statistics menu.

There would hopefully be two new options in the statistics menu, one being "Time spent in current world" and another being "Time spent in Minecraft". The latter being how many hours you have played on any world at any time, including multiplayer servers. The former would be how many hours you have spent in your current world. This wouldn't work for multiplayer servers though, as it would be hard to track which server is which.

Thank you!

    There is already a per world stats for the amount of time you played: in [Escape] -> Statistics -> General, there is a stat called "Time Played" that is for the world you are currently playing. It also works on servers if the server admin didn’t disable it.

    However, there is indeed no global stats for playtime.

    This is already a thing. The time in one world is saved in statistics, mesured in days and if you are running windows, you can look up, how long Minecraft was running in total.

    We need this feature for total playtime in all single-player and multiplayer worlds. We know it exists for each world alone. Mojang should add it.

    We need "Time wasted on Minecraft" button in launcher or in game. This data can be found and calculated from json file that can be downloaded. But that is really cumbersome.
