Simple Day Length Extender

⏱️ About

A simple, very-compatible mod to extend the day and/or night length in Minecraft. Unlike some other similar mods, it works by internally switching the doDaylightCycle rule on/off which is more compatible, along with special support for TerrafirmaCraft. (Note: TFC 3.x and older only. TFC 4.x for 1.21.1 now has its own setting for day length, so this mod is not relevent in that case).

💡 1.2.0 is finally released which fixes the desync (judder/stutter), has ports for more MC versions, and adds support for variable day/night length ratio based on Calendar in TerraFirmaCraft 3.x and below (thanks to alekiponi for working on this).

📜 Changelogs (Update history)

⭐ Highlights

- Works with TFC (TerraFirmaCraft) and probably all other mods (please report if not);
- NEW: Supports variable day/night ratio based on the season or time of year used by other mods. Currently supported mods: TerraFirmaCraft... that's all for now. Serene Seasons next perhaps?
- Multiply the day and night length separately;
- Can use arbitrary fractions, e.g. 1.5 or 50.25;
- Required on both Server and Client side (to prevent judder/desync);

🏷️ Usage & Config

After installing the mod, simply start Minecraft to let the config generate. Jump into any world if you're happy with the default config of 2x for both day and night, you will see something like this in the log:

Using a multiplier of x2.0 for Day time
    - Phase starts at 0 and will advance daylight cycle by 1 ticks over 2 game ticks on average.
Using a multiplier of x2.0 for Night time
    - Phase starts at 13000 and will advance daylight cycle by 1 ticks over 2 game ticks on average.

Refer to the config details below for complete usage.

✔️ Compatibility and Known Issues

TerraFirmaCraft

- Works 100%. Note that this mods "disableTimeCycleWhenServerEmpty" setting will be auto-set to true if TFC's time stop setting is also true.



Please report any and all issues not mentioned so I can improve the mod :D

🛎️ Support

Hopefully, the mod is simple enough to use, but you are encouraged to:

• Report any bugs you find;
• Report any incompatibilities with other mods;
• Request any features you want to see

...so I can keep improving the mod 😊 be sure to mention your loader (e.g. Forge, Fabric) and Minecraft version too!

⁉️ FAQ / Troubleshooting

Q. Can I use this in my modpack?

A. Of course! As long as you consider reporting any mod compatibility issues, and feature/config requests too 😁

Q. Does this mod cause lag, or cause extra network traffic in multiplayer?

A. Nope! Because the mod is required on both client and server-side, the gamerule is changed on both sides using the same deterministic algorithm. As usual, make sure client and server have identical config though otherwise the client will have strange rubber-banding.

Q. I have another question...

A. ...ask away in the comments :)
