Hey, I'm wondering how I get the actual time (in 12 hour time) like the clock, but text instead of a texture.

 

 

For example, ingame the sun would just be rising, so it would be 7:00AM

World#getCurrentDate() gives you a Calendar object, which you can use to get the actual time.

I've currently got this:

protected String getTime() {
String time = "";
        for (int j = 0; j < MinecraftServer.getServer().worldServers.length; j++) {
            time = StringUtils.ticksToElapsedTime((int)(MinecraftServer.getServer().worldServers[j].getWorldTime()));
        }
        return time;
    }

 

Which is giving me this:

It seems to work well, but it isnt all that accurate. I type: "/time set 23000" which makes it 6:00AM (according to the MC wiki) but it says its 19:10

Never mind!! I fixed it using this:

 

public void renderTick() {
	Minecraft mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();
	if(mc.currentScreen instanceof GuiChat) {
		GuiIngame gig = mc.ingameGUI;
		FontRenderer f = mc.fontRenderer;
		ScaledResolution s = new ScaledResolution(mc.gameSettings, mc.displayWidth, mc.displayHeight);;
		int h = s.getScaledHeight();
		int w = s.getScaledWidth();
		Long time = Long.valueOf(mc.theWorld.provider.getWorldTime());
		String t = "TIME: " + formatTime(time);
		gig.drawString(f, t, w - f.getStringWidth(t) - 10, h - 20, 16777215);
	}
}

protected String getTime() {
	String time = "";
	for (int j = 0; j < MinecraftServer.getServer().worldServers.length; j++) {
		time = StringUtils.ticksToElapsedTime((int)(MinecraftServer.getServer().worldServers[j].getWorldTime()));
	}
	return time;
}

public static String formatTime(Long time) {
	int hours24 = (int)(time.longValue() / 1000L + 6L) % 24;
	int hours = hours24 % 12;
	int minutes = (int)((float)time.longValue() / 16.666666F % 60.0F);

	String Time = String.format("%02d:%02d %s", new Object[] { Integer.valueOf(hours < 1 ? 12 : hours), Integer.valueOf(minutes), hours24 < 12 ? "AM" : "PM" });
	return Time;
}

 

Took me a while, but i got it!
