# Real Time Link
\nThis datapack links the time in your Minecraft world to your real-time (if on multiplayer, the time in the server’s timezone), down to the nearest minute. It is relatively optimised, using the latest features in 1.19.4 to allow parsing strings. <\/p>\n
As opposed to other similar datapacks, this one minimises how often it does weird technical things, making it quite optimised, but there\u2019s room for me to improve on it. You won’t notice the time going by, as it updates super smoothly \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
It also adds a new item – the Digital Clock, which shows the current time in HH:MM.<\/p>\n
## IMPORTANT NOTES
\n– **This datapack only works in versions 1.19.4 and above!**
\n– **This datapack only works if command blocks are enabled.**
\n– **The resource pack is optional – you only need to use it if you want to use the Digital Clock item**<\/p>\n
## Digital Clock
\nThe Digital Clock shows your current time\/the time of the server. It is accurate (to the time of the server) to within two seconds.
\nYou can craft it with the recipe shown, or use the function \/function give:clock<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The digital clock requires the resource pack to use it, but it is not required for real-time linking or any other features.<\/p>\n
## Time Zone Offset
\nIf your server that the datapack is installed on is hosted in a timezone which is, say, 4 hours behind your time zone, then you can offset the time. To do this, run `\/scoreboard players set .TZ_OFFSET rtime offset`, where `offset` is a number from -11 to 14. If the server is 4 hours behind, you would want to offset the time to be 4 hours ahead of the server, so you would set it to `4`.
\n– This only affects the real-time link, not the digital clock item<\/p>\n
