Clock

Watches were added in the Halloween Update on October 31st, 2010. They are created by using one Redstone and four Gold Ingots (see formation below).

The watch works like the compass, in the sense that you cannot use it, but its image changes depending on the circumstance. The watch displays where the sun or moon's position is in relation to the horizon.

NOTE: While in the The Nether, the watch dial will spin rapidly both forwards and backwards.

The watch crafting recipe is as follows:



Telling the time
Below is a gif explaining how the watch works. The watch consists of two halves with a day side and a night side. These spin slowly to tell you the time of day, corresponding to what is at the top most point.



Trivia

 * When switching Anaglyph mode on or off in the options menu, the watch face will appear purple or bright pink respectively when either in the hot bar or held.
