Description from the author on Hangar

Custom Daytime Plugin

Customize Minecraft's day/night cycle and experience smoother nights with this lightweight plugin!

⚠️ IMPORTANT

Since v2.0.0, the configuration file was changed from config.yml to config.conf.
Old config.yml files are not compatible and will not work.
The configuration format has also changed, so the old structure/syntax must be migrated manually.

Features

  • Configurable Day & Night Lengths

Set the duration of Minecraft's day and night in minutes via the config. Accepts decimal values for more precise timings (e.g., 0.5 for 30 seconds).

  • Accelerate Night While Sleeping

Instead of instantly skipping the night, time will smoothly accelerate when enough players sleep. This feature can be disabled in config.

  • Easy-to-Use Config

All values are adjustable in the config.conf file. All values are configured for each world separately.
Custom Daytime supports multiple worlds. Copy the "minecraft:overworld" block, paste it at the end of the config, rename it to the target world key, and edit the values.
"minecraft:overworld" {

Length of the daytime cycle in minutes

Default: 10.0

dayLength=10.0

Length of the nighttime cycle in minutes

Default: 10.0

nightLength=10.0

Enable or disable night acceleration when enough players sleep

False: use vanilla sleep-to-skip-night mechanic

Default: true

accelerationEnabled=true

Multiplier for night acceleration during sleep

Example: nightLength=10.0 (= 600 seconds) and AccelerationMultiplier=100.0 -> Acceleration lasts 6 seconds

Default: 100.0

AccelerationMultiplier=100.0
}
