Hi, announcing the worldtime mod. The mod is on github.
The worldtime mod adds some time managment functionality to minetest. It adds no new blocks or objects or behaviors, but instead is a library that can be used by other mods.
Downloads:
Version 1.01
Version 1.00

No media
See the github wiki page for information about how to use the mod.

This is a mostly frozen copy of the Minetest forums through 2017. If you know phpBB3 and would like to host any G-rated forum here, you can email: me@minetest.org If the email doesn't work, find out who's taken over Final Minetest from OldCoder and email them to get write access or an admin account.
I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.

I would recommend you use the "minetest.after" function instead of registering something to run every server step.
minetest.after(10,worldtime_timechange);
Also your module should use local functions and variables, and at the bottom return the interface for other modules to use it. (i.e. a get world time function)
Honestly it seems that using the lua "os.time()" function to get the current Unix time would be the best thing to do in this situation. Isn't the elapsed time for active block modifiers based on that, and not on length of server execution?

This mod intentionally does not use os.time. It uses ... world time. World time only progresses while the map is running. The real time clock keeps ticking when the world is closed; this does not.
World time progresses every server step because time progresses with every server step.
I'll look in to better encapsulation for a following version.
