Frequently asked questions

How do I make the day-night cycle longer or shorter?
Open the mod's config file and adjust the day-night cycle duration setting, then reload or restart the game for it to take effect. The config lets you change the total cycle length rather than editing individual day or night segments separately.
Does Better Days change how sleeping works in singleplayer?
Yes, it replaces the vanilla instant skip with a gradual time acceleration while you stay in bed. You'll see the night speed up smoothly until dawn arrives instead of the screen cutting straight to morning.
How does sleeping work in multiplayer with this mod?
Time acceleration scales with the percentage of players currently sleeping, so any number of sleeping players speeds up the night. You don't need a sleep vote or a minimum player threshold for it to take effect.
Why isn't my night skipping when I sleep?
Check that the mod is actually loaded and that its config hasn't disabled sleep acceleration, since a conflicting sleep mod or a disabled setting will block it. Also confirm you're fully in bed and not being interrupted by mobs or other players.
