Clock & Calendar System for RPG Maker MZ

A user-friendly real-time system for RPG Maker MZ - zero setup, no scripting required.

Clock & Calendar System is a drop-in plugin for RPG Maker MZ that adds a fully automated in-game time and day cycle to your game world. Whether you’re building a farming sim, a calendar-driven RPG, or just want your world to feel alive with passing days and shifting schedules - this plugin delivers. And it does so with absolutely no coding, scripting, or event logic required.

🛠 Features That Work the Moment You Install

⏳ Real-Time Clock (Hours & Minutes) Time advances smoothly in real time, scaled to your preferences. A full in-game day can pass in 5 real-world minutes or 50. You decide.

📅 Day and Season Tracking Track in-game days and optionally enable a 4-season cycle with 28-day months. The system auto-advances day, weekday, and month values with no manual eventing.

🎛 Pause Time Automatically in Menus and Dialogue Game paused? So is the clock. The plugin can automatically suspend time updates during menu navigation and dialogue scenes - all configurable via parameters.

🧩 Built-In HUD with Optional Background Display current time, day, and season on-screen via a lightweight HUD that can be positioned anywhere. Need visual contrast? Enable the semi-transparent background window with a toggle.

🧠 Variable Sync Link time values (hour, minute, weekday, day, month) to game variables with a few clicks. This makes time-aware eventing (shops, weather, quests, spawns) effortless.

🎮 Drop-in Plugin Commands Control time progression directly using:

• PauseTime: Freeze the clock
• ResumeTime: Let it tick again
• AdvanceTimeByHours: Jump forward by a set number of hours
• AdvanceTimeToNextDayTime: Skip to tomorrow at an exact time (great for sleep systems)

🚫 Zero Dependencies, Zero Setup Clock & Calendar System is 100% standalone. No frameworks, no required order, no “core module” nonsense. Just install, configure a few options, and go.
