Custom Time Cycle Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I check what day-night duration is currently set?
Use the command `/timecycle status` to see the current day and night durations in your current dimension. This will display the lengths in Minecraft ticks or real-time minutes depending on your mod configuration.
What's the command to make days longer?
Use `/timecycle set` followed by the duration values you want. You'll need to specify separate durations for day and night phases in your current dimension.
Can I have different day lengths in different dimensions?
Yes, the mod allows you to set custom day-night cycles per dimension. When you use `/timecycle set` in a dimension, those settings apply only to that dimension—the Nether, End, and Overworld can all have different cycles.
Does changing day length affect game speed or lag?
No, the mod specifically adjusts day-night duration without changing the tick rate, so your game speed and performance remain unaffected.
How do I reset the day-night cycle back to normal?
Use the command `/timecycle reset` in the dimension you want to restore. This will return that dimension's day-night cycle to Minecraft's default 20-minute duration.
What happens if I set a very short day cycle?
The day-night cycle will progress much faster, cycling through day and night more frequently. This won't cause lag, but mobs will spawn and despawn more often as lighting changes rapidly.
Can I make it always daytime or always nighttime?
The mod is designed to adjust day and night durations separately, but setting one phase to an extremely long duration (like night to 0 or day to a very high value) can approximate permanent daylight or darkness—check your mod's specific documentation for edge cases.
Do I need to restart my world after changing the time cycle?
No, changes take effect immediately when you use the `/timecycle set` command. You don't need to reload chunks or restart your world.
Will this mod work with other mods that affect time or daylight?
The mod should work alongside most other mods, but conflicts can occur with mods that also modify the day-night cycle or tick rate. Test your mod combination to ensure compatibility.
Can I set fractional or decimal durations for the day cycle?
This depends on your mod version's command syntax—check whether the `/timecycle set` command accepts decimal values or only whole numbers for the most accurate results.
