Timepiece
by Pleebo
Timepiece puts working clocks into Forge 1.20.1 worlds, from classic red alarm clocks to a grandfather clock that chimes each hour.
What it does
Clocks in Timepiece tell the time within Minecraft, and each model has its own behavior. Alarm clocks ring at 7am to mark the morning, a grandfather clock chimes on the hour, and a town hall clock is built around a larger structure. Wall and mantle clocks tick as they run. Some clocks only work while the sun is up, and their hands update in game as the hour changes.
The catalog lists Timepiece as a Forge mod for 1.20.1, released on 2026-04-07 and updated on the same day. Clocks and wristwatches are placed as decoration, and the mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is All rights reserved, which means the mod is not open source. Timepiece has no required dependencies.

Use cases
Who it’s for: Players who build towns, homes and other decorated spaces on Forge 1.20.1 servers and in single-player worlds. Server owners who want the same clocks for every player install the mod on the server and on each client.
How it compares
Ingame Real Time Clock is a Forge client-side only mod for 1.20.2, under All rights reserved, so it does not work on 1.20.1 and only the client runs it. Clock HUD is a client-side only mod for 1.16.4 – 1.21.11 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, showing the time on screen rather than placing clocks in the world. L-Man's Cat Clocks runs on Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1 – 1.21.5, is client and server, and is All rights reserved, so it is the closest match in environment.
