Time Unbroken

Author: J_Vortex_B

Overview

Time Unbroken is a server-side Hytale mod that synchronizes the in-game time-of-day with real-world time using a configurable IANA timezone — and prevents beds from skipping the night.

Designed for immersive and hardcore servers, Time Unbroken ensures that time cannot be bypassed. Nights must be endured.

Server-side only. No client installation required.

Features

  In-game time matches real-world time based on your configured IANA timezone.

• Sleep Skip Suppression

• Configurable Full-Day Length
  Define how long a full in-game day lasts in real-world hours using
  realtime.day_length_hours.

• Live Day-Length Control
