Vadim "Vadim" Dybinskiy In the well-known sandbox game, there are many unique things that can aid a player's adventures. One such hidden gem is the clock. It may seem like an unlikely useful item in the game, but it turns out to be quite beneficial. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about how to make a clock in Minecraft, and then how to use them.
Significance
This thing serves as a convenient tool for players to track the time of day, helping them plan their actions accordingly. Unlike in real life, the item doesn't show time in hours, minutes. Instead, it indicates the position of the sun, moon in the virtual world.

Although at first glance such information may seem more than useless, it becomes necessary as soon as you go down into the mine, since there is no idea of the time of day if you do not look at the clock.
This allows gamers to know the current time, for instance, to emerge to the surface during the safer daylight rather than at the perilous night. When the clock shows it’s night, a player can sleep in a bed in time to avoid encounters with phantoms in the future.

How to create the necessary item?
To make a clock in Minecraft, a player needs 4 golden ingots + 1 redstone dust. To obtain these, head into a mine. Most gold can be found between heights of 30 and 80. Redstone is typically found below height 16.
Ore blocks must be mined with an iron, gold, diamond, or netherite pickaxe (you can read about pickaxes in another article of ours). Once the necessary amount of ore and redstone is gathered, the player can proceed to create a Minecraft clock.
First, melt gold ore in a furnace to obtain gold ingots. Then, make or find a crafting table. It's a fairly simple recipe. In the crafting grid, the player must place 4 gold ingots in a cross shape, leaving the center cell empty. Place redstone dust in the central cell. The item is now ready!

How can the clock be used?
After creating the accessory, you can take it in hand to keep track of time. The display will change depending on the time of day. Now, wherever the user is, they will have a better orientation of the daily schedule. The exception is in other worlds. In the Nether + the End, the thing behaves oddly and does not reflect reality.

A gamer can turn a portable clock into a wall thing in their home or underground shelter by creating a frame. To craft this item, the player will need 8 sticks, 1 leather.
Sticks can be made from planks. Place 2 planks in the crafting window, and you'll get what you wanted. The material will appear in the inventory if the user kills some animals, like cows.

To create the frame, place the leather in the central cell and the sticks in all other cells. Now the gamer can hang the finished decoration on the wall. Hold it in hand, right-click on the side of one block. There the item will be placed.

Next step: take the clock in hand. Right-click on the frame to place the accessory inside. Now you have a frame with a clock inside! The player can use this for home decoration or to display the time right on the wall. It’s not the most functional use, but it is very aesthetically pleasing.
