Final Sunrise
by BurgyPlus
Final Sunrise removes the day cycle after the first Minecraft day, so the world stays at midnight for the rest of the save.
What it does
After the first day, the mod sets the world time to 18000 ticks and keeps it there, so the night never ends. It is meant as a small change that adds a survival challenge, and it also applies to Nether, End and modded dimensions, not only the overworld. Sleeping is the way to pass the night: a player must sleep under open sky above a spawn point, and Phantom spawning can be turned off as an option.
Two items make the night easier to live with. The Daylight Potion uses up the night-time effect and restores daylight for a short period; a Night Vision Potion combined with a Nether Star produces it. Empty Disc is a new ingredient for crafting music discs, and the new discs are a reason to explore different biomes. Recipes are shown in a gallery. Final Sunrise is published for NeoForge only, for 1.20.6, 1.21 and 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The license is the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Permanent night
The world time is held at midnight after the first in-game day, so the day cycle does not return.
Sleep under open sky
Sleeping requires an open sky above a spawn point, which makes the night a survival mechanic.
Daylight Potion
Combining a Nether Star with a Night Vision Potion yields a brew that swaps the night for daytime for a span.
Craftable music discs
Empty Disc is an ingredient for new music discs that encourage exploring different biomes.

How it compares
NightLock is the server-required, client-optional option for 1.21.1, under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and it is open source. Mining Reward is client and server for 1.21.1 under All rights reserved, and it is not open source. Craftable Music Discs! is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.8 under a non-commercial Creative Commons license, so it does not cover the same version as Final Sunrise.

This mod sets the minecraft world time to 18000 every tick to make it always midnight. A small, but impactful change to add challenge to the survival experience. This mod does not affect the Nether, End, or Modded Dimensions even if they have a Day/Night Cycle. Phantom Spawning is now optional! The new mechanic…
