Description

Day Length

Day Length gives you absolute control over Minecraft's time progression. Whether you want a strictly realistic 24-hour cycle or custom-speed days for your unique playstyle, this mod handles it with precision and smoothness.

🚀 Features

  • Custom Day Duration: Set the day-night cycle to any length you want (e.g., 40 minutes for double length, or 48 hours for extreme realism).
  • Real-Time Synchronization: Sync Minecraft time with your system clock or a specific UTC offset.
  • Smooth Transitions: No more sun/moon jitter. Time progresses smoothly tick by tick.
  • Vanilla Sleep Support: Players can still sleep to skip the night normally (available when not synced with real-time).
  • Easy Configuration: Direct access to configuration from the in-game mod list.

🛠️ Configuration

Day Length uses a standard configuration system. You can find the config file at: .minecraft/config/daylength-common.toml (or similar depending on your loader/version).
