ClockTime

Modrinth Hangar GitHub Discord Documentation

ClockTime is a lightweight, zero-configuration, multi-platform (Paper/Spigot & Fabric) Minecraft plugin and mod that enhances the in-game clock. Players can simply right-click with a clock in their hand to display the current in-game time in their chat, fully formatted and localized according to their Minecraft client language!

Features

  • Realtime Clocks in Item Frames (Paper/Spigot): Displays current world time dynamically on clocks placed in item frames. Updates are optimized to only modify item name tags when the Minecraft minute actually changes.
  • Full Multi-Platform Compatibility: Run it seamlessly as a server-side plugin on Paper, Purpur, and Spigot, or as a server/client mod on Fabric. Enjoy 100% feature parity across all platforms.
  • Client-Side Locale Detection: Automatically formats and translates the time according to the player's client language (supporting both 12-hour AM/PM and 24-hour formats natively).
  • Expandable Translation System: Bundled with 16+ built-in languages. Scans the languages/ subfolder dynamically to load custom properties files (e.g. messages_sv.properties), allowing effortless expansion.
  • Dimension-Aware Time Resolution: Detects environments where standard time has no meaning (like the Nether or The End) and displays a special wild-spin message.
  • Custom Dimension Support: Define custom or modded worlds/dimensions in the configuration that should also exhibit wild-spin clock behavior.
  • Easy Setup & Low Impact: Zero-configuration needed out of the box. Drop the jar in, and you're ready!
