I want to make a clock mod, but I need some way of detecting the time, rounding it to the nearest 1000, then making the right clock node appear over the old one.

To quote kaeza

The number is 0-1 (0=midnight, 0.5=12:00, 0.75=18:00, etc).
See my testclock here for a way to convert to the HH:MM:SS format.

oh, I see

I almost finished, but now it says
"17:38:26: ERROR[ServerThread]: Map::setNode(): Not allowing to place CONTENT_IGNORE while trying to replace "clock:clock_12" at (-21,10,-857) (block (-2,0,-54))
17:38:26: ERROR[main]: Map::setNode(): Not allowing to place CONTENT_IGNORE while trying to replace "clock:clock_12" at (-21,10,-857) (block (-2,0,-54))"
all the time.

Can you copy the code here? Use the code tags.

I will, but do you know what is causing the errors?

(when clocks update, there is no way to keep them facing the same direction, so your clocks may face a different direction after updating.)

Hmm, I tried it and I'm kind of confused. Let me give a go at making a clock mod.
