Clock HUD
by mrmelon54
With Clock HUD, a small clock in the corner of the game screen shows the current time without opening any menu.
What it does
Clock HUD draws a clock on the client's heads-up display. The shown time and the position of the clock on screen can be changed through the mod's settings, so the display can sit where the player prefers. Only the client needs the mod, and the server does not have to run it.
Installation requires Fabric API when the Fabric loader is used. The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.16.4 – 1.21.11 across 23 release versions. The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Clock on the HUD
A clock is drawn on the heads-up display, so the time stays visible during play.
Configurable position
The clock's position on screen can be moved, so it does not cover other interface elements.
Shows the time
The displayed time updates as the game runs, with no command or key press needed to read it.
Client-side display
The clock is drawn only on the player's own screen, so it changes nothing in the world or for other players.

Use cases
Keeping time while building
Players working on long builds or timed events can watch the clock without leaving the game view.
Playing on a single-player world
Solo players who want a clock in view during long sessions can keep it on screen at a chosen spot.
Who it’s for: Players who want a clock on their screen while they play. Because it runs on the client alone, it suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers that do not install mods.
