Usage

Clock animation

The clock consists of two halves, a day side and a night side. These spin slowly to indicate the time of day, corresponding to the sun or moon's actual position in the sky. The player is able to sleep a few seconds after the clock shows exactly dusk.

Clocks will still show the proper time when viewed in any way, including as a dropped item, in a player's hand, in any inventory or the crafting table, or in an item frame.

Clocks do not work in the Nether or the End, the dial will instead rewind rapidly showing random times of the day, making it useless for determining the time.
