Time Adjustment

by Team NPM

Time Adjustment lets a server owner set how long a Minecraft day lasts, through a simple datapack that adds a configuration menu to the world.

What it does

The mod is a datapack that changes the length of the daylight cycle in a world. Players can set the day length in hours and minutes, pick from preset cycle lengths, or type an exact value after clicking the middle of the displayed length. Enabling or disabling the daylight cycle is handled through the doDaylightCycle gamerule, and the advance time option is available on versions below 1.21.11. Installation is done by running a function from the chat window to open the configuration menu, and a button removes the datapack data from a world with instructions for finishing the cleanup.

The datapack is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a Data pack server platform. Builds cover 1.13 – 26.3, with 2.2.1 as the latest file for 1.20.1, and snapshot builds are published as well. The mod requires Minecraft 1.21.11 or below to work with most datapacks, because those datapacks rely on the default daylight cycle. Server owners can install it through the Modrinth app, or move the file into the datapacks folder by hand. Only the server needs it, and players may add it, and the code is licensed under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Adjustable day length

    Sets the length of the daylight cycle, with a display of the current length in hours and minutes.

  2. Preset and exact values

    Preset cycle lengths can be chosen with buttons, and an exact value can be typed in for finer control.

  3. Update and cleanup buttons

    A button runs the update functionality from the pack list, and another removes the datapack data from a world.

  4. Issue reporting

    Problems with other datapacks can be reported through the issue tracker, with the reporting steps described on the project page.
