/clock
Confirmed /clock shows:
- Your world, the Minecraft day number and the in-game time (sunrise is 06:00), plus how long until the next dawn in real time.
- Server time (Hawaii time, HST) and how long the server has been up.
- Your local time, if you've set a time zone.
/timezone
Confirmed Set your time zone once and /clock and the join welcome show your local time too.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
/timezone | Shows your time zone, if you've set one |
/timezone <Region/City> | Sets it, for example /timezone America/Los_Angeles or /timezone Europe/London |
/timezone clear | Removes it |
Use a Region/City name. Abbreviations like PST and fixed offsets like +02:00 aren't accepted, because they get daylight saving wrong. RootMC never guesses your time zone from your connection: nothing is stored until you choose one.
The join welcome
Confirmed A couple of seconds after you join, you get a short welcome:
- First time on the server: **Welcome to RootMC, *name*! Type /help to see what you can do.**
- After that: Welcome back, with your time played since tracking began and your active time.
- Server time, and your own time if you've set a time zone.
Day sync to the real clock
Off by default When staff switch day sync on, each Minecraft day starts at local midnight in Hawaii time and days follow the real clock (20-minute days by default, the same as vanilla). Sleeping still works, but it can't skip the night, because the time always follows the real clock. Staff can't move the time with /timeset while day sync is on.
Pause when empty
Off by default When this is on, the day and night cycle stops while nobody is online and carries on when someone joins. It can't be combined with day sync.
Faster growth
Off by default When this is on, crops, saplings and grass grow faster (Minecraft's random tick speed, vanilla 3, up to 12). It applies to the same worlds as day sync, which by default is the main world only.
