[MCPE 1.21+] RR Real Time Addon: Sync Minecraft Time with Real Life (World Clock Script)

One of the biggest immersion breakers in Minecraft is the disconnect between the in-game time and the real world. You might be playing on a sunny afternoon in real life, but inside your Minecraft world, it is pitch black, and zombies are spawning everywhere. Or perhaps it is late at night for you, but the Minecraft sun is blazing directly overhead. This lack of synchronization creates a "Time Gap" that constantly reminds you that you are just playing a game.

For years, Java Edition players had mods to fix this, but Bedrock Edition (Pocket Edition) users were left behind. That changes today. I am excited to introduce the RR Real Time Addon. This is not just a visual trick; it is a sophisticated script that synchronizes your Minecraft world's ticks with the actual clock on your device or a specific timezone.

In this post, I will explain the mechanics behind this script, the difference between the Free and Pro modes, and how you can use the custom UI menu to perfectly sync your game with your local time.

How the Mechanics Work

Minecraft's day cycle is usually 20 minutes long. This addon disables the default daylight cycle rule and takes control of the time command using the Script API. It calculates the current time of the real world (converted into Minecraft ticks) and updates the game state every second.

This means if it is 12:00 PM in real life, the sun in Minecraft will be directly at its zenith. If it is 8:00 PM, the moon will just be rising. The transition is smooth and accurate, running at a 1:1 speed ratio with reality.

Features: Free Mode vs Pro Mode

To accommodate both casual players and power users, I have divided the addon's capabilities into two modes.

1. Free Mode (UTC Standard)

This mode is active immediately after installation. It is designed to work out-of-the-box but has a fixed timezone.

• 1:1 Time Scale: One minute in the game equals exactly one minute in real life.
• Default Timezone: The game syncs to UTC (Coordinated Universal Time / London Time).
• The Limitation: If you live in India, the USA, or anywhere else, the sun position will not match your window. For example, India is +5:30 hours ahead of UTC, so the game will feel 5.5 hours behind.

2. Pro Mode (Local Sync & Digital HUD)

This is the ultimate experience. By unlocking this mode via the settings menu, you gain full control over the environment.

• Timezone Slider: You can adjust the time offset to match your country perfectly. For India, you set it to +5.5, and the sun will match your real sky instantly.
• Digital Clock HUD: A sleek digital clock appears at the top of your screen, showing the exact time (AM/PM) with seconds.
• Night Skip: Since a real-time night lasts 10-12 hours, waiting can be boring. Pro Mode allows you to sleep in a bed to skip the night, which temporarily breaks sync until the next morning.

Visual Demonstration

Here is how the addon works in the game. You can see the custom UI panel that allows you to manage settings without typing complex commands.

How to Use the Settings Menu

I did not want to clutter the chat with commands, so I created a graphical user interface (GUI) that you can access using a standard in-game item.

Step 1: Craft a Clock

You need a normal Minecraft Clock. You can craft this using 4 Gold Ingots and 1 Redstone Dust in a Crafting Table. If you are in Creative Mode, just pick it from the inventory.

Step 2: Open the Menu

Hold the Clock in your main hand. To open the settings menu, simply Long Press (Use Item) on the screen (or Right Click on PC). You do not need to look at any specific block; just use it in the air.

How to Unlock Pro Mode

When you first open the menu, the Timezone Slider and other pro features will be locked/greyed out. To unlock them, you need to authenticate your addon with the secret key.

Unlock Instructions:

1. Open the Menu using the Clock.
2. Locate the text input box labeled "Enter Key".
3. Type in the following code exactly (Case Sensitive):

After typing REAL_SYNC, click the Submit button. You will receive a success message, and the slider will become active. Now you can set the slider to match your country. For example, set it to 5.5 for India.

Installation & Settings

This is a technical addon that requires specific world settings to function correctly. If you skip this, the Menu will not open when you click the Clock.

1. Download the .mcpack file from the section below.
2. Import the file into Minecraft and apply the Behavior Pack.
3. Go to your World Settings -> Experiments.
4. Enable "Beta APIs". This is mandatory.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I skip the night in this addon?
Yes, but only in Pro Mode. If you sleep in a bed, the night will be skipped, but the time will momentarily be out of sync with real life until the script readjusts (usually at the next sunrise).

2. How do I remove the Digital Clock from the screen?
Open the Menu using the Clock item and toggle the "Show Digital Clock" switch to OFF.

3. Will this cause lag on low-end devices?
No. The script executes once every second (20 ticks), which is very low impact. It does not constantly check for entities or run complex calculations.
