Runic Clock

Know when to head home before nightfall—or notice that it is past your real-world bedtime. Runic Clock adds a compact, gold-accented clock to your HUD without changing gameplay.

• In-game time in 24-hour or 12-hour format.
• The current world day.
• A sun or crescent moon showing day or night.
• An optional Local clock using your computer's time zone, with its own format setting.
• Adjustable screen anchor, offsets, size, and background opacity.

Quick start

Install with your mod manager and launch Valheim. The clock appears near the top center once you enter a world. Press Left Alt+C to hide or show it. The shortcut is configurable and does not activate while typing or using game menus.

Use your configuration manager's F1 menu, if installed, or edit BepInEx/config/chazman.RunicClock.cfg. Settings changed through a configuration manager apply immediately. Close the game before editing the file directly.

Setting	What it does
Clock / Use24Hour	Switch game time between 18:30 and 6:30 PM.
Clock / ShowDay	Show or hide the world day.
Clock / ShowSunMoon	Show or hide the day/night icon.
Clock / ShowRealWorldTime	Add your local computer time; off by default.
Clock / RealWorldUse24Hour	Choose the optional local clock's time format.
Display / Anchor, OffsetX, OffsetY	Move the clock. Positive offsets move right/down; the panel stays on screen.
Display / Scale, BackgroundOpacity	Resize the clock or make its background transparent.
Display / HideInMenus	Hide in menus, inventory, map, and chat input; on by default.
General / ToggleShortcut, Visible, Enabled	Change the shortcut, hide the clock, or disable the mod.

The clock always respects Valheim's hidden HUD and loading screens. In-game time follows Valheim's day/night cycle rather than assuming daylight and darkness last equally long. The day number comes directly from the world. Local time is your computer's time—not the server's.

Client-only installation

Only players who want the clock need to install it, including a player hosting a world. No dedicated-server installation or restart is needed. Works as a display for solo, hosted multiplayer, and dedicated-server clients. It does not change time, saves, characters, inventories, or server configuration, and requires no other Runic mods.

For manual installation, place RunicClock.dll in BepInEx/plugins/RunicClock/. Requires BepInExPack Valheim. A configuration manager is optional. If your server enforces an allowed-mod list, its administrator must permit chazman.RunicClock.

To uninstall, close Valheim and remove the mod. There is no world or character data to migrate.

Language files

This version follows Valheim's selected language using files in Translations/RunicClock beside the DLL. Missing translations fall back to English. Copy English.json to the selected language name and translate its values. See TRANSLATING.md. No additional translation plugin is required.
