DaylightChangerStruggle - ArdaCraft Edition
by Ajcool_
With the ArdaCraft Edition of this time changer, the in-game time can be held steady or cycle smoothly through the day, and the menus are restyled for ArdaCraft's resource packs.
What it does
This is the ArdaCraft Edition of a time changer originally written by JuggleStruggle. The mod gives the player a control that can cycle smoothly through the day or hold a chosen moment. Its settings screen offers Noon, Midnight, Sunrise and Sunset buttons for a fixed time of day, and the buttons for that screen were changed for compatibility with the resource packs used on ArdaCraft.
The edition sets the displayed year to 3006 while the internal in-game year stays at 0. It is built for Minecraft 1.20.1 with the Fabric loader and is intended to be used alongside Caelum - ArdaCraft Edition. Compatibility with the Sodium and Iris renderers is maintained. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code is published.

Restyled menus
Color gradients were changed and custom backgrounds removed to improve readability, and menu render order was fixed.
ArdaCraft button icons
