How to Use This Plugin

Load a world with this plugin running, and load some data pack functions, then you can use the command:

• Temporary realtime schedules
  • /schedule function funct1 realtime 800 ms append - Append a schedule of funct1 that will be executed after 800 milliseconds
  • /schedule function funct2 realtime 10.5 s - Clear all temporary realtime schedules of funct2 and append a schedule of funct2 that will be executed after 10.5 seconds

  • /schedule function #tag2 realtime 0.9 h append - Append a schedule of #tag2 that will be executed after 0.9 hours
  • /schedule function funct3 realtime 1 d - Clear all temporary realtime schedules of funct3 and append a schedule of funct3 that will be executed after 1 day
  • /schedule function funct4 realtime 0.25 a replace - Clear all temporary realtime schedules of funct4 and append a schedule of funct4 that will be executed after 0.25 Julian years
• Persistent realtime schedules
  • /schedule function #tag3 realtime at "18:30" append - Append a schedule of #tag3 that will be executed at 18:30 "today"
  • /schedule function #tag4 realtime at "24:30" - Clear all persistent realtime schedules of #tag4 and append a schedule of #tag4 that will be executed at 00:30 "tomorrow"
  • /schedule function funct5 realtime at "12:34:56" replace - Clear all persistent realtime schedules of funct5 and append a schedule of funct5 that will be executed at 12:34:56 "today"
  • /schedule function funct6 realtime at "03-14 15:09:26" append or /schedule function funct6 realtime at "14/3 15:09:26" - Append a schedule of funct6 that will be executed at 15:09:26 March 14 "this year"
  • /schedule function #tag5 realtime at "2025-06-07 00:00:00" or /schedule function #tag5 realtime at "7/6/2025 00:00:00" - Clear all persistent realtime schedules of #tag5 and append a schedule of #tag5 that will be executed at 00:00:00 June 7, 2025

All unexecuted temporary realtime schedules will be discarded on server stopping. All unexecuted persistent realtime schedules will be saved to realtime-schedules.json at the root directory of the world on world saving. If a persistent realtime schedule has a execute time before the current time, it will be immediately executed. Realtime schedules will be executed even if the game is frozen by /tick freeze or paused (singleplayer).
