CycleControl

Simple and flexible control over Minecraft’s day-night cycle.
Make days and nights shorter or longer using one straightforward in-game command.

--- CycleControl is a lightweight server plugin that lets administrators control how long a complete Minecraft day-night cycle lasts. Choose anything from fast-paced short cycles to long, immersive days without manually managing world time. The selected duration is saved automatically and restored after server restarts. ## ✨ Features - Change the complete day-night cycle duration in-game. - Supports durations from 1 to 1,440 minutes. - Accepts whole numbers and decimal values. - Divides the selected duration equally between day and night. - Applies automatically to every loaded world. - Saves settings across server restarts. - Restores the previous `doDaylightCycle` value when disabled. - Lightweight design with no external dependencies. ## ⌨️ Commands | Command | Description | |---|---| | `/cyclecontrol` | Displays the current cycle duration. | | `/cyclecontrol ` | Changes the complete day-night cycle duration. | | `/daycycle ` | Alias for `/cyclecontrol`. | For example, `/cyclecontrol 60` creates a complete 60-minute cycle consisting of approximately 30 minutes of day and 30 minutes of night. ## 🔐 Permissions | Permission | Description | Default | |---|---|---:| | `cyclecontrol.admin` | Allows players to view and change the cycle duration. | OP | Commands can also be used through the server console. ## 📥 Installation CycleControl requires a compatible **Paper, Spigot, or Purpur 1.21.x server** running **Java 21 or newer**. 1. Download `CycleControl-1.1.0.jar`. 2. Place the JAR inside your server’s `plugins` folder. 3. Restart the server. 4. Run `/cyclecontrol 40` to use a 40-minute cycle. The default cycle duration is 40 minutes: approximately 20 minutes of day and 20 minutes of night. ## 🧩 Compatibility CycleControl supports: - Paper 1.21–1.21.11 - Spigot 1.21–1.21.11 - Purpur and compatible Paper forks - Java 21 or newer CycleControl does not support: - Fabric or Forge - Sponge - Folia - BungeeCord or Waterfall - Velocity Proxy software does not control individual worlds. On proxy networks, install CycleControl separately on each compatible backend server where it should be active. ## ⚙️ Configuration CycleControl creates a simple `config.yml` file: ```yaml cycle-minutes: 40.0 ``` You can change this value manually while the server is stopped or use `/cyclecontrol ` in-game. Command changes are saved automatically. ## 🔧 Troubleshooting If CycleControl does not load: 1. Confirm that the server is running Java 21 or newer. 2. Make sure the server uses Paper, Spigot, Purpur, or a compatible fork. 3. Remove older CycleControl or LongDays JAR files. 4. Restart the server instead of using a plugin reloader. 5. Check the server console for loading errors. If another plugin controls world time or changes `doDaylightCycle`, the plugins may conflict. --- ### License Copyright © 2026 **FezIsOut**.
