Clockwork: Time HUDs
by Voltasonic
Clockwork: Time HUDs puts a clock on the screen for players on Fabric who want the in-game time or the real-life time visible while they play.
What it does
The mod shows the in-game time, given as daytime ticks with a label, and the local system time, both on the HUD. A toggle switches the display between the in-game clock and the real-life clock, and an animated clock icon moves with frame-based smoothing.
Position is set in the Edit HUD Position menu, where each HUD can be dragged and dropped to the spot the player prefers. Clockwork is a lightweight HUD mod that runs on the client alone, so it changes nothing on the server side. Files target Fabric and 1.21.11 only, released under the MIT License, and the code is not open source.
Key features
In-game time readout
Shows the daytime ticks of the world next to a text label, so the position in the day is readable at a glance.
Real-life time readout
Displays the local system time on screen, switchable with the in-game readout through a single toggle.
Animated clock icon
The clock icon animates with frame-based movement that keeps its motion smooth on screen.
Draggable HUD placement
The Edit HUD Position menu lets players drag each clock to any location and save where it sits.
