Convert Minecraft ticks to LocalTime

Use this guide to calculate the real-world time representation of Minecraft world ticks using ClockTime's core domain classes.

Preconditions

• ClockTime added as a project dependency in your plugin project.

Converting Ticks

You can use the stateless TimeFormatter service from the domain layer to convert in-game ticks directly:

import io.github.beduality.clock_time.domain.service.TimeFormatter;
import java.time.LocalTime;

public class TimeUtility {

    public LocalTime getRealTimeRepresentation(long worldTicks) {
        TimeFormatter formatter = new TimeFormatter();
        // Convert world ticks (e.g., 6000 ticks = 12:00 PM noon)
        return formatter.formatTicks(worldTicks);
    }
}

Verification

To verify that your tick conversion works correctly:

1. Create a unit test or call your utility method in your plugin logic.
2. Assert or log the result of converting common values, for example:
3. 0 ticks should yield 06:00 (6:00 AM)
4. 6000 ticks should yield 12:00 (12:00 PM)
5. 12000 ticks should yield 18:00 (6:00 PM)
6. 18000 ticks should yield 00:00 (12:00 AM)
