Timelock
by ModFest
With Timelock, server owners can set a fixed time of day for chosen chunks, so those areas ignore the world clock and the rest of the world keeps its own time.
What it does
Timelock locks the time in named zones of a world. Each zone covers a set of chunks and holds a tick value between 0 and 24000, which is the time those chunks show regardless of the world time. A zone can also use the world time with an offset applied, so its clock still moves but runs at a chosen shift. Zones are managed through the timelock command, which has a create, a set, a delete and an info subcommand for inspecting a zone. Editing works in steps. A zone's chunks are selected by right-clicking blocks in the world to change the selection, then changes are committed with timelockc commit or discarded with timelockc abort.
Key features
Chunk-based time zones
Named zones lock the time for the chunks they cover, while the rest of the world follows its normal clock.
Fixed tick values
A zone holds any tick value from 0 to 24000, so a chosen time of day stays in place for its area.
Offset mode
A zone can follow world time with an offset instead of a fixed value, so its clock keeps moving.
Selection and commit workflow
Chunks are picked by right-clicking blocks, and edits are applied with a commit or dropped with an abort.
