Thanks Kay and Hermann, I’m using the mobGUI slider.
The range of settings chosen on the slider can be -5 to +5. That range of values equals a span of 1 second—up to 1/2 second (300 blocks on the player) slower or faster. The actual position selected by the user will result in a time adjustment up to that or less. Both of your methods seem to make sense and I’m trying them out now. Thanks!
