Analog

by fabiofdez

Analog adds wall, hanging and standing clocks built from brass, copper, iron and zinc, and a pendulum clock that reads the in-game time.

What it does

Analog adds timekeeping accessories to Minecraft, including a pendulum clock that catches daylight and ambient light through its amethyst gemstone, and a cuckoo and grandfather clock style of decoration. A clock can be hung on a wall, attached to the side of a block, or placed flat against a wall, and dyes can change the color of its face. A placed clock winds itself and shows the right time, and it stops ticking when the game is paused.

The clock is built from brass, a metal made by combining copper and zinc, with an iron frame and a brass rod that lets the pendulum swing. The recipes use quartz crystal for steady ticking and redstone dust for the powered device, and every recipe is listed in the recipe book. Clocks in the Nether and End spin chaotically, since time there does not follow the overworld cycle. The mod assumes a Minecraft day of 24,000 in-game ticks, so mods that change the day length can affect how the clock reads the time.

Analog is client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source, and its source code and issue tracker are public. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across seven game versions, 1.20.1 – 26.1.2, with Fabric API required on Fabric.

Key features

  1. Pendulum clock

    A pendulum clock that gathers daylight and ambient light through an amethyst gemstone and displays the in-game time.

  2. Placement options

    Clocks can hang on a wall, mount on the side of a block or sit flush against a wall, to suit different rooms.

  3. Dye-tinted faces

    The clock face takes dye colors, so each clock can be matched to the surrounding decoration.

  4. Brass and iron crafting

    Brass is made from copper and zinc, and combined with iron it forms the frame and rod for the pendulum.

How it compares

Full comparison

Digital Clocks shows the time as digits on Fabric and NeoForge for 1.16.5 – 26.2, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Clock HUD is a client-side only overlay on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.4 – 1.21.11, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only. Analog differs in being a physical block decoration rather than an on-screen display.
