/lastseen in command users own time zone?

[Brendan Stafford]

When checking the last time Jmancino2 was on I had a thought. Why not have /lastseen report the timezone in which the player who invokes the command is in? That way there is more a reference as to how long ago a player was on. Example:

Instead of believing Jmancino2 is a time traveler, rather than just a player who was online 30 mins ago in my time zone? Does that make sense? Is it easy to implement? This is just a humble request, certainly not a need, but a convenience.

Thanks,

Not for nothing, the command does output the timezone (BST) so you would know that Jmancino2 was not a time traveler. That said, I'm curious how difficult this would even be.

If not using location, could set timezone as a control panel setting?

Also, you can use /servertime to find the current time in that timezone

[Brendan Stafford]

yes that would be ideal, a cpanel setting for timezone.

I'm not really sure this would be very useful. Adding a timezone setting per user could help with certain things, and we could try to auto-detect it based on connecting geoip on first join, but all of the things it would help with are very minor. If you'd like to create an issue for that, please do so under web scripts, and set it to low priority - but it's something that enhances a few things cosmetically, whereas our developer effort would be better spent on major issues right now such as updating to a more modern version of minecraft.

ok, that makes sense, thatd be a nice feature in the future. thanks!

It would be better and easier to implement to have it output how long ago the lastseen was if it's less than 72 hours.
