DaylightChangerStruggle

A fully-clientsided mod which changes the daylight cycle without the need of fiddling around commands. (Unless if your goal is to do that.)

It is also compatible with Sodium and Iris as it changes the client's world lunar cycle/sky angle and disables the night vision effect.

Features

  • The ability to pick many different types of cycles (see Cycle Types), not just set the time
  • Easings, a way to decide how a transition should animate (Only used in some cycle types)
  • A buttery-smooth cycle that isn't based on ticks alone, but on the interpolation of ticks (you have the option to disable this if not wanted)
  • Toggle world daylight and the mod's daylight
  • Disable night-vision should the server enforce it upon you (this does not have the option to brighten up the world like some mods; it just disables the effect alone)
  • A user-interface which does not rely on libraries to make its own configuration and also features a viewable 2-list menu depending if the resolution in the game is supported
  • The user interface also has tooltips for almost all of the widgets you interact with so that you know what they do and how they function

Cycle Types

Oh, what's that? Cycle types? Cycle types are daylight cycles which you can pick and see the world traverse depending on the selected type.

For starters, we offer the following types:

  • Static - Combines /time set <time> and /gamerule doDaylightCycle false but without needing to do both and referred to as "set the time"
  • Moving - Moves the time whilist setting a speed (use negative for reverse-daylight cycle)
  • System - Adjusts the time based on your system clock, also sets Minecraft days to better represent the current time
  • Randomizers - A seizure-friendly daylight cycle which will question why you are playing Minecraft
  • Low-to-High Height Time - Depending on your height (or the viewing entity's), you can decide the minimum and maximum value and tie both of them with a set time
  • And more in the future ​

Getting Started

  • To show a user interface for the mod, bind the key "Open Time Changer Menu" to anything you'd like to and when in-game press the key and the menu should be seen.
  • Or if you want to use commands instead, type either /daylightchanger, /dcs, /tcs or /timechanger.

After that, you will have to disable World Time and then open Cycle Menu / switch the cycle by clicking on two arrows pointing opposite of each other and you will see the magic ;)

Modpacks

If you want to use this mod in a modpack, no need to ask! You are free to do so as long as you're not making any money off from it.
