About this project

What does DayTimeControl add?

DayTimeControl
DayTimeControl is a lightweight yet powerful utility mod for Minecraft 1.20.1 (Forge) that gives server owners and map makers absolute control over the world's time cycle. Unlike the vanilla game, this mod allows you to independently define how long the day and night should last.

Whether you want an eternal summer with long days or a survival-hardcore experience with extended, treacherous nights, DayTimeControl makes it possible with a few simple configuration tweaks.

✨ Features
Independent Day/Night Cycles: Set custom durations for daytime and nighttime separately.

Time Scaling: Smoothly scales the game's clock based on your desired ticks.

Total Pause Command: A dedicated admin command to freeze the sun/moon in its tracks—perfect for waiting for players or setting up events.

Automatic Gamerule Management: Automatically handles the doDaylightCycle gamerule to ensure the mod’s logic takes priority.

Lightweight & Efficient: Optimized for performance with zero impact on server TPS.

🎮 Commands
/daytime pause <true|false>

true: Freezes the global time cycle immediately.

false: Resumes the time cycle based on your custom configuration.

(Requires OP Level 2)

⚙️ Configuration
After the first run, you can find the config file at:
root_folder/run/config/daytimecontrol-common.toml

Available Options:

dayDurationTicks: Total ticks for the daytime (Standard is 12,000). Increase this value to make the day longer.

nightDurationTicks: Total ticks for the nighttime (Standard is 12,000). Increase this value to make the night longer.

🚀 Upcoming Features
This mod serves as the core foundation for an upcoming Realistic Sleep System. Future updates will include:

Multi-player sleeping mechanics.

Immersive time-skipping animations.

Compatibility with more dimensions.
