Time & Wind
The Time & Wind mod gives Minecraft players the ability to customize the duration of day and night in any dimension. You can independently determine how long the light and dark periods of the day will last.
Getting Started
To set the duration of day and night, use the command /taw set-cycle-length <dimension> <day length> <night length>. For example, the command /taw set-cycle-length minecraft:overworld 24000 9000 will set the day duration to 24000 ticks and night to 9000 ticks for the Overworld dimension.
Time conversion:
- 20 ticks = 1 second
- 1200 ticks = 1 minute
- 72000 ticks = 1 hour
Configuration Management
To remove configuration for a specific world, use the command /taw remove-cycle-entry <dimension>. You can find out the current world identifier using /taw get-current-world-id.
An alternative configuration method is editing the config/time-and-wind/time-data.json file. After making changes, apply them with the /taw reload command.
Important Features
IMPORTANT: HEALTH WARNING! Setting values less than 12000 ticks may cause epileptic seizures or other unwanted effects!
The mod automatically equalizes the duration of day and night, since in the standard version of Minecraft the day is slightly longer than the night. This feature can be disabled in the configuration file.
Technical Details
Time & Wind works by intercepting setTime method calls in tickTime, passing control to a custom handler. This means you don't need to disable the doDayLightCycle game rule for the mod to function.
The mod is compatible with dimensions from other mods that don't have fixed time. For dimensions with fixed time (as in the standard game), setting day and night duration won't work.
