It's Not Long Enough
by kreezxil
Minecraft's day and night cycle can be stretched to a full 24 hours with It's Not Long Enough, which replaces the default 20-minute cycle on the server.
What it does
The mod replaces Minecraft's built-in 20-minute day and night cycle with one that lasts a full 24 hours. Setting the in-game clock to match real time can cause lag, so the mod pauses for a set period before each time update, and that delay can be changed in its config file. Since the mod only alters timing, removing it requires setting the gamerule doDaylightCycle back to true. The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License, and the code is open source. Only the Forge loader is supported, and files exist for 1.12.2 alone, with the 1.0.1 release dated 2022-05-26.
