Control Time

⏱️ Control Time

Take control of playtime on your Minecraft server!

Control Time is a Minecraft Forge mod designed to help server administrators manage player playtime in a simple, flexible, and convenient way.

Whether you’re running a private server with friends, organizing scheduled play sessions, or looking for a better way to balance progression in your world, Control Time gives you the tools to manage players’ available time.

With automatic countdowns, customizable HUD elements, time warnings, and automatic disconnection when time runs out, you can create a playtime system that suits your server.

And the best part? You can customize the mod’s settings in real time as an administrator, allowing you to adapt the experience to your community without being limited to a rigid, predefined setup.

✨ Features

⏳ Player Playtime Management

• Manage the available playtime of individual players.

• Add or remove time using administrative commands.

• Automatically count down a player’s remaining time while they are connected.

• Pause the countdown when a player disconnects and resume it when they return.

🔔 Automatic Time Warnings

Keep players informed before their available time runs out.

Control Time includes warnings at:

• 1 hour and 30 minutes remaining.

• 1 hour remaining.

• 30 minutes remaining.

• 10 minutes remaining.

• 5 minutes remaining.

Warnings can be triggered again when a player’s remaining time rises above a warning threshold and later drops below it again.

🚪 Automatic Disconnection

When a player’s available playtime reaches zero, Control Time automatically disconnects them from the server.

This helps administrators enforce their server’s playtime rules without having to monitor every player manually.

📊 Customizable HUD

Display the player’s remaining time directly on the screen.

• Choose between left, center, and right positioning.

• Enable or disable the HUD.

• Adapt the display to your preferences.

Your server, your rules.

🌎 Daily Reset

The mod supports a daily reset based on Bolivia’s local time zone (America/La_Paz).

Player time balances and warning states are saved, helping preserve their status across server restarts and player reconnects.

🛠️ Commands

Control Time provides administrative commands for managing player playtime and HUD settings.

Replace <player> with the target player’s Minecraft username and <time> with the desired time amount.

🌐 Language and Customization

The mod’s in-game messages are currently in Spanish. However, its customizable design gives server administrators the flexibility to adapt supported text and settings to their preferences.

💛 Why Control Time?

Control Time started with a simple idea: making multiplayer Minecraft more enjoyable and balanced for everyone.

When playing with friends, progression can sometimes become uneven. Some players advance very quickly, acquire powerful equipment, and defeat major challenges before everyone else has had the chance to experience them. In a private server, this can change the pace of the world and affect the fun the group shares.

Control Time was created as a way to help manage that balance by giving administrators more control over how playtime is distributed.

The goal isn’t to stop players from enjoying Minecraft. It’s to help communities find a balance that works for everyone.

More control for administrators. More balanced adventures for your community.
