PolyTime Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open the PolyTime settings?
If OneConfig is installed, open your mods menu and look for the PolyTime settings panel. Otherwise, check your keybinds menu for a PolyTime hotkey, or use the mod's command interface if available in-game.
Can I set the time to a specific hour like noon or midnight?
Yes, use the manual time setting feature to input the exact hour you want. The mod accepts time values that correspond to in-game hours, allowing precise control over day/night cycles.
What does 'sync with real-world time' actually do?
This feature makes your in-game time match your actual local time, so when it's 3 PM in real life, it's 3 PM in your game world. The game time updates continuously as real time passes.
How do lunar cycles work in this mod?
When lunar cycle tracking is enabled, the moon's phases in-game progress through a realistic cycle that repeats over time. This affects the visual appearance of the moon but doesn't change gameplay mechanics unless other mods interact with it.
Can I switch between manual time and real-world sync without restarting?
Yes, PolyTime lets you toggle between different time control modes on the fly through its settings menu. Switching modes won't reset your world or cause issues.
Does PolyTime work in multiplayer servers?
PolyTime is primarily designed for single-player use; multiplayer support depends on server configuration and whether the server has the mod installed. Check with your server admin before assuming it will work.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
PolyTime is lightweight and shouldn't cause noticeable performance drops, as it only manages time values rather than generating new content or entities.
What happens to my time settings if I disable the mod?
When you disable PolyTime, your world reverts to vanilla Minecraft time behavior, but your custom time settings are preserved if you re-enable the mod later.
Can I use PolyTime with other mods that affect time or seasons?
Compatibility depends on how those mods interact with time; some work fine together, while others may conflict. Test them together in a world and check mod documentation or community forums for known incompatibilities.
Is there a command to change the time instead of using the menu?
PolyTime may support in-game commands for time control depending on the version; check the mod's settings or command help for available syntax.
