Restrict clock usage

Use this guide to control which players can check the time using a clock.

Preconditions

  • A Minecraft server with ClockTime installed and running.
  • A permissions manager plugin such as LuckPerms installed and configured.

Restricting Access

By default, all players have access to the clock feature. You can restrict access by setting the clock_time.use permission node.

Revoke Permission

To prevent a group of players (for example, the default group) from checking the time:

/lp group default permission set clock_time.use false

Grant Permission

To grant permission to a specific group (for example, vip or moderators):

/lp group vip permission set clock_time.use true

Verification

To verify that the permission is correctly applied:

  1. Log in as a player in the restricted group (e.g., default).
  2. Right-click a clock.
  3. Confirm that you do not see the in-game time.
  4. Log in as a player in the allowed group (e.g., vip).
  5. Right-click a clock and confirm you can see the time.
