ClockDaddy

ClockDaddy

A Valheim clock that tells you when to go to bed.

What it does

• Clock on screen. Shows game time and day number. Put it anywhere, any size, any color.
• Heads-up at 4 PM game time. One ping and "Head for bed soon." Once, no blinking.
• Bedtime ping at 5 PM game time. Plays a chime and pops up "Time for bed." If you're still up,

it pings again every couple of minutes (you choose how often and how many times).

• Blinking clock. From bedtime until you're in bed, the clock flashes and adds a "BEDTIME" line.
• Next-weather icon. A small icon of the weather that's coming next, with "Rain in 3m 20s"

beside it. Turn it on or off and move it anywhere from F1.

• Snooze. Press Page Down and it hushes for 3 minutes (you pick how long), then pings again.
• Silence it for the night. Press End and it shuts up until tomorrow night. Press End again to undo.
• Turn the alarm off entirely. Ctrl+End switches the whole alarm off or back on, and it stays that way.
• Set everything from F1. Every setting is in the Configuration Manager window (F1) and takes

effect immediately while you play. No config file editing needed.

It stops by itself when you get in bed, and resets every evening. The mod only runs on your own

game: install it yourself for your own reminders. The server doesn't need it.

Clock text tokens

{gametime} {day} {tod} (Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night) {realtime} {bedtime}

{bedtimein} (game time left until the reminder) {biome} {weather} {nextweather}

{weatherin} (real time until the weather changes) {silencekey} {snoozekey}. AzuClock's {0} {1} {2} {3} also

work, so an AzuClock clock string can be pasted straight in.

Type \n for a new line. Unity rich text works: `,,, `.

Example: {gametime} Day {day}\nbed in {bedtimein}

Weather icons

The forecast re-runs the game's own weather roll for the next period, so it is exact as long as

you're still in the same biome when the weather changes. There's no icon in places where the

weather is fixed (crypts, caves, raids, boss fog).

Ten icons: clear_day clear_night mist light_rain rain storm snow snowstorm

ash_rain dark. To use your own, put same-named PNGs (square, transparent) in

BepInEx/plugins/ClockDaddy/icons. They replace the built-in ones, no rebuild needed.

Your own ping sound

Set Ping Sound to Custom and put a WAV file at BepInEx/plugins/ClockDaddy/sounds/custom.wav

(uncompressed PCM or float, any sample rate, mono or stereo; keep it short). Swap the file any time

and press Test Ping to hear it, no restart needed. If the file is missing, it plays Chime.

Install

Use r2modman Mod Manager, or drop ClockDaddy.dll into BepInEx/plugins/ClockDaddy.

The F1 window comes from a Configuration Manager mod. Any of them works (shudnal's ConfigurationManager,

Azumatt's Official BepInEx ConfigurationManager); it is no
