No clocks
by No Mods
No Clocks removes the clock item from Minecraft, so players must judge the time of day by looking at the sky.
What it does
The clock item and its crafting recipe are removed, so players cannot craft a tool that reports the day and night cycle, including underground where the sky is not visible. Because of this, villagers will not trade clocks, chests do not generate with them, and item frames do not hold them. Players learn to rely on sunlight and the sky to know when night is coming, which makes mining riskier and adventuring less predictable.
The mod is a Fabric mod for 1.21 – 1.21.10, released under All rights reserved and not open source. The server must run it so the clock is gone for everyone who joins, while players may add it as well, since the client is not required to have it.
Key features
Clock item removed
The clock item is deleted from the game, along with its crafting recipe, so it cannot be made or found.
No underground time tracking
Players cannot monitor day and night cycles from deep caves, so they must plan trips around what they can see.
Sky-based timing
Without a clock, the sky is the only guide to the time, and players pay closer attention to sunlight.

How it compares
Real Life Time is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 – 26.3 that runs on client and server and is released under the MIT License, so it adds time display rather than removing clocks. AudibleDayNight is client-side only, released under All rights reserved and built for 1.21.11, and it changes how the day and night cycle sounds rather than removing the clock.

What the author says
No Clocks deletes the clock item and its crafting recipe, so players can’t monitor day–night cycles underground or in caves. Villagers won’t trade them, chests won’t generate them, and you can’t use them in item frames to tell time. It makes mining riskier, adventuring unpredictable, and forces players to pay…
