This is for all servers out there with a clock tower, or thinking of adding clocks somewhere!
Ever thought it would be really neat if that decorative clock you have in the town actually moved?
Now it can!
Clocks on towers!
Clocks in the floor!
Clocks in the sky!
Massive clocks just because you can!
Each of the hands can be a different material, and even a unique centerpiece. Clocks can show minute updates (10 updates per minecraft hour), or just move the hour hand. Additionally, you can give the clocks some depth so each hand has its own layer (only 2 deep supported at the moment)
Currently admin-only, and the blocks are not protected from destruction. Best set up in areas where players are not able to break blocks, eq protected with WorldGuard.
Fairly lightweight and CPU-friendly, but all updates happen in the same tick, so don't go TOO crazy. This isn't intended for use on a clocks-only world. That said, I have tested running at least 30 clocks simultaneously - some of which were quite large - with no noticeable impact on server performance. Additionally, the plugin double-checks to see if the clock's chunk is even loaded before attempting to update the clock face, so that helps ease usage.
To define a clock, simply select the corners of a surface that you want to be a clock, up to 2 blocks deep. The size of the selection must be an odd-number and square. The border of the clock will not be replaced by the plugin, but if you have blocks in the way, such as in this example below, they will eventually be replaced by the plugin when a hand needs the space.
