Description

Better Time

Better Time is a lightweight yet essential utility for players who find Minecraft’s standard 20-minute day cycle a bit too rushed. It gives you total control over the flow of time, allowing you to independently scale the duration of day and night to fit your playstyle.

Features

  • Independent Scaling: Set different durations for the day and the night (e.g., a long 28-minute day and a cozy 12-minute night).
  • Seamless Transitions: Time still flows smoothly; the sun and moon move at a adjusted pace without any "teleporting" or glitches.
  • In-Game Configuration: No need to mess with text files—adjust everything through a clean UI menu.
  • Server-Side Logic: The server handles the clock, ensuring all players stay perfectly synced regardless of their location.

How it Works

Customizing your world's rhythm is simple and takes only a few seconds:

  • The Menu: Access the settings via the Mod Menu button on the main screen or pause menu.
  • Custom Sliders: Use the "Minutes of Day" and "Minutes of Night" fields to define your ideal cycle.
  • Real-Time Updates: Changes are applied instantly. If you save your settings while in-game, the sun's speed will adjust in the very next tick.
  • Persistence: Your settings are saved in a local config file, so your custom cycle remains active every time you launch the game.

Dependencies

This mod requires the following libraries to function properly:

  • Fabric API: The core foundation for the mod's functionality.
  • Mod Menu: Provides the interface to access the settings.
  • Cloth Config API: Powers the beautiful configuration screens and sliders.

Compatibility

  • Fabric Loader: Built specifically for the modern Fabric ecosystem (1.21+).
  • Multiplayer Ready: Must be installed on the server to control the clock. It is recommended on the client as well to allow players to access the configuration menu.
  • Vanilla Friendly: Does not change how /time set or /time add commands work—it simply changes how fast time moves naturally.

Gameplay Note

  • Proportions: By default, the mod is set to a 40-minute cycle (28m Day / 12m Night), but you can go as fast or as slow as you desire.
  • Efficiency: The mod is extremely lightweight and has zero impact on server TPS (Ticks Per Second).

Feedback & Support

If you encounter any bugs, have suggestions for new time-related features, or want to report compatibility issues with other world-gen mods, feel free to leave a comment on the mod page!
