DayTimeControl

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)
