Pop-out Clocks — Guide
What It Changes
Precisely one thing, and only in one place.
| Where the clock is | What you see |
|---|---|
| In an item frame | The new raised 3D clock |
| In your hand | Vanilla clock, unchanged |
| In the hotbar or a chest | Vanilla clock, unchanged |
| Dropped on the ground | Vanilla clock, unchanged |
That split is deliberate. The pack's item model definition selects on the display context and swaps in the 3D model only for the one an item frame uses, falling back to the vanilla model everywhere else. Nothing about the item itself changes: same crafting recipe, same behaviour, same stack.
Where It Works
- Item frames and glow item frames - both supported.
- Walls, floors and ceilings - the model orients itself with the frame, so a clock laid flat on the floor or fixed overhead still looks right.
- The Overworld - clock faces only track real time in the Overworld, which is vanilla behaviour; in the Nether and the End the dial spins randomly there too.
64 separate faces are included, so the hand moves in small steps rather than jumping, and a wall of framed clocks stays in sync with itself.
