About this mod Author’s original text
Valheim Clock
A lightweight, server-synchronized, highly customizable HUD clock for Valheim.
Valheim Clock adds a permanent, vanilla-friendly time display directly beneath your minimap. Unlike client-based clocks, this mod hooks directly into the server's authoritative ZNet time, ensuring that every player sees the exact same time, synchronized down to the minute.
✨ Features
Vanilla-Friendly UI: Designed to seamlessly blend into Valheim's aesthetic with a dark semi-transparent background, crisp gold trims, and metallic corner rivets.
Highly Configurable: Move it, resize it, or change the font size to fit your exact screen resolution and personal taste.
Dynamic Layouts: Choose between a standard "Single Line" display or a compact "Stacked" layout.
Instant Hot-Reloading: Adjust your configuration file while playing! The UI will instantly snap to your new settings without needing to restart the game or log out of your server.
Client-Side: Only players who want to see the clock need to install it.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
