The clock dial consists of two halves, a day side and a night side. The dial spins clockwise slowly to indicate the time of day, corresponding to the sun or moon's actual position in the sky. When the time of day changes suddenly, such as after sleeping or when {{MC/Cmd|time}} is used, the clock dial spins rapidly to catch up. The player is able to sleep a few seconds after the clock shows exactly dusk.

The dial always shows the current in-game time when in the [[Minecraft:Overworld]], regardless of where it appears. This includes a player's hand, an inventory slot, a crafting grid, an item frame, or even as a dropped [[Minecraft:Item (entity)|item]]. For a clock to be mounted on a wall, an item frame is required.

Because there is no day–night cycle in [[Minecraft:the Nether]] or [[Minecraft:the End]], clocks do not work properly in these dimensions. Instead, the dial rotates rapidly and randomly. Although clocks do not function in these dimensions, the actual daylight cycle does continue.

Template:Infobox item A clock is an Minecraft:item that shows the state of the Minecraft:daylight cycle in the Minecraft:Overworld. It spins randomly in other dimensions, as those do not have daylight cycles.

The clock dial consists of two halves, a day side and a night side. The dial spins clockwise slowly to indicate the time of day, corresponding to the sun or moon's actual position in the sky. When the time of day changes suddenly, such as after sleeping or when Template:Cmd is used, the clock dial spins rapidly to catch up. The player is able to Minecraft:sleep a few seconds after the clock shows exactly dusk.

The dial always shows the current in-game time when in the Minecraft:Overworld, regardless of where it appears. This includes a player's hand, an inventory slot, a Minecraft:crafting grid, an Minecraft:item frame, or even as a dropped item. For a clock to be mounted on a wall, an item frame is required.

Because there is no day–night cycle in Minecraft:the Nether or Minecraft:the End, clocks do not work properly in these dimensions. Instead, the dial rotates rapidly and randomly. Although clocks do not function in these dimensions, the actual daylight cycle does continue.

Piglins

Piglins will run toward any clock item on the ground and inspect it for 6 seconds Template:In, or 8 seconds Template:In<ref>Template:Bug</ref>, before putting it in their inventory.
