What time is it?
by Enty175
What time is it? shows the current real-world time inside Minecraft, so players can check the clock without leaving the game.
What it does
The mod displays the current real-world time on screen while a game is running. Players who play long sessions can keep track of the hour without switching to another device, which makes it easier to plan a session around a set end time.
Installation is a single Fabric mod file, and it works on its own without any other mod. Either side can run it, and neither needs it. Files are published for Fabric only, for the eleven game versions 1.16.5 – 1.19.4, and the latest file is 2.0.0 for 1.19.4, released under the MIT License. The mod is not open source.
Key features
Real-world clock display
The current real-world time is shown on screen, synchronized with the system clock rather than in-game time.
No need to leave the game
Players can check the time during play instead of pausing to look at a phone or computer.
Session planning
Knowing the exact time makes it easier to decide when to stop, which suits players with fixed schedules.
Simple setup
The mod is a single file to add to the mods folder, with no configuration needed to start seeing the time.
