  Whether you want to build a giant clock tower, a fancy town hall clock, or a small wall hung clock, this datapack will make it much more than a simple build. Dynamic Clocks allows you to place working, rotating clocks into your world. The clock hands rotate based on the time of day, and are highly customizable.

Creating a Clock
Access the clock menu with the command /function clock:help

Help Menu Options
Place Clock
Places a clock inside the block you are standing on.

Rotate Clock
Rotates the clock to face North, South, East, or West.

Hand Size
Changes the total size of the clock hands

Hand Length
Only changes the length of the clock hands, not the size

Clock Position
Moves the clock forwards for backwards by 0.1 block

Hand Material
Swaps the block the hands are made of to a block you are holding in your hand.
This only works with blocks, using items will turn the hands invisible.

Chime Times
Determines what times of day all clocks in the world will ring like bells
Options are No chimes, Morning only, Morning & Sunset, and Morning, Noon, & Sunset

Always Day
If active, the game will set the time to morning (6:30 AM) whenever the sun sets (5:30 PM).
This allows the clocks to move for decoration without players needing to deal with night time.

Remove Clock
Deletes any clock near the block you are standing on.

Additional Credit
This datapack was based on a video made by Roako. Credit to him for the original work.

Great data pack! I love the customizability, allowing from anything from grandfather clocks to giant clock towers! I just wish you could customize how loud it is.

You should add a way to make "Floor clocks" like you can have the hands on the floor so people can make cool floor designs

If you are using the datapack as a .zip file, try unzipping it and using it as a normal folder. If the problems continue, try deleting any files in the pack named something like "DS_Store" or "MACOS." Otherwise, I'm unsure.

Now it worked, I hadn't noticed that in the sub folders there were other .DS files
