Adjustable Day Cycles

Better Time

Better Time is a lightweight yet essential utility for players who find Minecraft’s standard 20-minute day cycle a bit too rushed. It gives you total control over the flow of time, allowing you to independently scale the duration of day and night to fit your playstyle.

Features

• Independent Scaling: Set different durations for the day and the night (e.g., a long 28-minute day and a cozy 12-minute night).
• Seamless Transitions: Time still flows smoothly; the sun and moon move at a adjusted pace without any "teleporting" or glitches.
• In-Game Configuration: No need to mess with text files—adjust everything through a clean UI menu.
• Server-Side Logic: The server handles the clock, ensuring all players stay perfectly synced regardless of their location.

How it Works

Customizing your world's rhythm is simple and takes only a few seconds:

• The Menu: Access the settings via the Mod Menu button on the main screen or pause menu.
• Custom Sliders: Use the "Minutes of Day" and "Minutes of Night" fields to define your ideal cycle.
• Real-Time Updates: Changes are applied instantly. If you save your settings while in-game, the sun's speed will adjust in the very next tick.
• Persistence: Your settings are saved in a local config file, so your custom cycle remains active every time you launch the game.

Dependencies

This mod requires the following libraries to function properly:

• Fabric API: The core foundation for the mod's functionality.
• Mod Menu: Provides the interface to access the settings.
• Cloth Config API: Powers the beautiful configuration screens and sliders.

Compatibility

• Fabric Loader: Built specifically for the modern Fabric ecosystem (1.21+).
• Multiplayer Ready: Must be installed on the server to control the clock. It is recommended on the client as well to allow players to access the configuration menu.
• Vanilla Friendly: Does not change how /time set or /time add commands work—it simply changes how fast time moves naturally.

Gameplay Note

• Proportions: By default, the mod is set to a 40-minute cycle (28m Day / 12m Night), but you can go as fast or as slow as you desire.
• Efficiency: The mod is extremely lightweight and has zero impact on server TPS (Ticks Per Second).
