Is there a way to make a block follow the suns path?

I know an animation would be required but i dont know how i could set the speed for it. i would have it start when the sun rises ~ 600 ticks in, and it would start the animation and "follow" the suns path. Is it possible to make an animation slow and or is it possible to make the block follow the suns path??

Not sure, really. Just make an animation that lasts as much as a minecraft day (I know, its hard) and make it so the animation creates a really slow arc, make it all fit.

If you want to make it rotate like a sunflower, you could make a different block for each rotation (those blocks all look identical but only one of them can be obtained and found in the creative inventory, the others all drop the first) and make a  tick rate procedure which places a different block based on the time of the day

If you mean actually animating a texture of an item or a block while it's in the inventory based on the time of the day, then unfortunately I doubt you can.

We can talk more there, I don't like talking to people via these forums Lmao.
I think this is completely possible but may require some java-code to actually make  this work,
I will help with all aspects you need help with, with this, if you want.
I like the idea, it shall be fun to create.
