# TakeYourTime<\/p>\n
TakeYourTime is a lightweight Minecraft plugin that displays in-game time and day count via **action bar** or **boss bar**. Players can choose their preferred display, and server owners can configure colors, update intervals, and display modes. Optional color-coded phases mark **dawn, day, dusk, and night**.
\n
\n<\/p>\n
## Commands
\n– `\/clock on` – Enable the plugin.
\n– `\/clock off` – Disable the plugin.
\n– `\/clock mode [actionbar|bossbar]` – Choose display type.
\n– `\/tyt` – Show plugin information.
\n– `\/tyt reload` – Reload configuration without restarting the server.<\/p>\n
> The plugin automatically tracks in-game time and days since world creation. Display settings and colors are configurable in `config.yml`.<\/p>\n
## config.yml Example
\n“`yaml
\n# Day counting mode: “gametime” (default) or “fulltime”
\ncounter-mode: gametime<\/p>\n
# Update interval in ticks (20 ticks = 1 second)
\nupdate-interval: 1200<\/p>\n
# Boss bar colors (optional phase colors)
\nbossbar:
\n defaultColor: WHITE
\n # dawnColor: RED
\n # dayColor: YELLOW
\n # duskColor: BLUE
\n # nightColor: PURPLE
\n“`<\/p>\n
## Roadmap & Limitations<\/p>\n
**\u26a0\ufe0f Disclaimer:**
\nI made this plugin for me and my friends’ 10-player SMP. Works on Paper and some Paper forks, but **not tested on all server types**. May not perform well on very large servers due to per-player `.yml` storage.<\/p>\n
### Current Limitations
\n– Player data stored in `.yml`, may slow on large servers.
\n– Updates every **real-life minute**, minor overhead possible with many players.
\n– Focuses on the **first world only**, no multi-world support.
\n– Boss bar colors are optional; misconfigured colors default to WHITE.<\/p>\n
### Planned Improvements
\n– Move to **database storage** (SQLite\/MySQL) for scalability.
\n– Add **multi-world support**.
\n– Additional display modes (sidebar\/scoreboard).
\n– Optional player-specific update intervals.
\n– Optimization for **large servers**.
\n– More boss bar customization options.<\/p>\n
### Usage Recommendation
\n– Best for **small to medium servers** or single-player worlds.
\n– Use with caution on servers with hundreds of players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
