RealTimeMod is a modification that sets the time of day in-game to the host's computer time.
The modification works with multiplayer, LAN and single-player.
As of May 20th, 2024, the mod has started a new development cycle for the NeoForge mod loader.
The world time is set every 15 minutes in real time. This means that the time will be updated every 15 minutes of every hour.
- XX:00
- XX:15
- XX:30
- XX:45
NeoForge Support
The mod will now be for Neo Forge.
Older versions can still be obtained on the CurseForge mod page.
Features
- Game/mod config files
- Real-time mechanics
- Weather system
- Weather forecast
Planned features
I have several planned ideas for this mod, though I am open to community suggestions on the GitHub issue tracker.
- Moon phases
- Calendar
- Calendar events system
- Serene Season support
- Weather event system
- Community suggestions
- You can find all documentation on the wiki site from FAQ to documentation.
- Due to the time being set the moon phase remains as a full moon. This will be fixed in RTM 1.2.0 | NeoForge version.
