Overview

This mod adds a simple alarm timer command .tm, which notifies you with an alarm sound and custom message after the specified duration.
No more charred pies or crucibles getting cold!

Also, this mod runs on client side, so it's available in MP without server installation :)
(Some servers might not allow client side mods.)

Usage

Basic

Enter a world, and type:

.tm start 3 Hello, World!

After 3 seconds, an alarm will ring and you'll see the message in the chat window:

Adjust alarm volume if needed:

.tm volume 0.5

Most commands have very short aliases.
For example,

.tm start 3 Hello, World!

is the same as:

.tm s 3 Hello, World!

To check all commands and aliases, type .chb to open the command handbook and see the page for .tm.

Presets

You can save and reuse timer settings with presets.

To create a preset:

.tm preset add pie 50 Check your oven!

(With aliases: .tm p a pie 50 Check your oven!)

This means "Add a preset named 'pie', which has duration of 50 seconds and message 'Check your oven!'".

To start a timer with the preset values:

.tm start-preset pie

(With aliases: .tm sp pie)

After 50 seconds, you'lll see:

To list all presets:

.tm preset list

(With aliases: .tm p l)

If you feel 60 seconds are appropriate for perfect pies instead of 50, change the duration of the preset by:

.tm preset update-duration pie 60

(With aliases: .tm p ud pie 60)  

To delete the preset:

.tm preset delete pie

(With aliases: .tm p d pie)

Other Features

To cancel the most recently started timer:

.tm undo

Notes

• Timers will be cleared when you leave the world (while presets remain saved)
  • That's because this mod is designed to be short-duration timer up to a few minutes, though technically there's no explicit duration limit
  • You might like Alarm Clock by DruidNight for longer timer
