RealTime - Synchronize Minecraft Time with Real World -----
Keep your Minecraft world in sync with the real worldUpdate 1.7 – Enhanced Help System, Update Checker & New Exclusion Command
Release Date: 8 February, 2025
IMPORTANT UPDATE NOTICE
Before using this new version, please update your configuration file to ensure everything works correctly. You can either delete your old config and restart the server, or copy-paste the updated configuration from the SpigotMC website. This step is essential to avoid problems and to keep it up to date!
Additionally, significant changes have been made to permissions for better management. The base permission is now realtime.use, while each subcommand requires its corresponding permission. Alternatively, realtime.* grants access to all RealTime commands. If you’re not using a permissions plugin, granting a player operator status with /op <playername> will also provide full access. A complete list of all permissions can be found on the main RealTime SpigotMC plugin page.
