What is AlwaysDay?
AlwaysDay is a plugin that lets you choose whether to keep a world in day or night, or leave it normal. It has multiworld support and is easy to set up for the first time on a new server using the commands below. Each individual world can be set independently (or all set together) using simple commands and in real-time so no reloading of the server is needed to save the changes. In the day time, mobs are unable to spawn, and in the night, they might come at you from anywhere, adding a new dimension to the game.
AlwaysDay also allows control of the weather. You can keep the minecraft world in constant storms, or keep the skies clear. As with the time of day, each world can be configured separately using simple commands and in real time.
Who is AlwaysDay for?
AlwaysDay is perfect for Adventure maps where you don't want to keep having to set the time to day to be able to see the map. it is also useful for creative maps where you just want to build and want to be able to see what you are doing without having to sleep through the night. It is also perfect for PVP arenas where you want to be able to see your enemy or don't want mobs to get in your way in the heat of the battle.

Can you please update this? Thanks

Is the plugin broken for 1.5.1?
Unfortunately I have been extremely busy the past month due to exams so I have not been able to work on it.
Next week I will have more time and be able to work on improvements and fixes
Are you planning to update this for MC 1.5.1?
@jessefjxm
Are you using GroupManager, with group manager the groups perms are more powerful than op, so you have to give them the permission even though they are op.
@jessefjxm
Hi, with your second problem I have tried to recreate the problem but couldn't. Could you please make sure that you haven't set a false permission on the command you want to use? or create a new group with just the always day.* permission and see if it works.
I tried both as op and as a normal player but I could still use the command, with the required permissions
Going back to your first problem, I have not implemented console commands as of yet, it may come in the future, but the auto-update command was what I thought was important for the console user to have at the time.
I've meet 2 problems:
1.No command can be access from the console, it only told me to type 'ad update' which was useless either.
2.OPs,with all permission owned, can't use commands start with /ad ,which say "You don't have the required permission" :(
@ritipinheiro
No problem, thanks for using it!
Thanks for this, really need for my pvp maps
@JAG100
Hello, unfortunately there has been an issue with my email, I shall try to send you more info tomorrow, just to let you know I am about to start testing the version without commands to then go onto permissions in the near future.
@JAG100
Hi, thanks for your feedback, I can make you a custom one without commands if you wish however I will not post it to dev.bukkit.org as everyone would get the same. I shall email you later to get further details. Thanks for your support
LlamaGoingNorth - I love this plugin and I'm using it to control weather and daytime in many of our adventure worlds. If there was a way to keep regular users from changing the settings that would be wonderful! Right now, the plugin is defeated because players keep discovering it and changing my settings. Anyway we can get a version that disables the commands and where you'd make the changes soley in the config as a temporary option ahead of getting full PERMS working? I would love that. Happy to donate if you could make me a version like that. Please email me at [email protected]
Best, JAG100
Can this plugin be made with permissions so that an ADMIN can set an adventure map to always day and players would not be able to mess with the settings thereafter?
@Fotomik
Hi, it is possible. To remove a world from being time controlled, type /ad [WorldName] then type /calm [WorldName]. This will leave the normal day/night cycle and keep the weather calm :)
Is there a way to make normal minecraft day/night cicle and control the weather at the same time with this plugin?
I installed this plugin to stop the rain on my server, but as far as i understand i can't have the normal day/night cicle and make a world calm at the same time.
I hope you can change the command to other....... It is because a lot of plugins are using /day commands
@DarkBlade547
Hi thanks for your suggestion, although I think that something like that would be better in a separate plugin.. I might have a look into it later on, I am quite busy at the moment with sixth form unfortunately :S
Hey Great plugin, i can see in this plugin Time For day and night ??? Ex: 1 hour Day , 30 minutes Night... whit this the plugins are amazing!!
@thecodekid
Weather has now been added. Thanks for your idea :)
@CJHacker
Hi, thanks for noticing that problem and understanding, it was a problem do with auto-updates being off which caused the error. I have now fixed the problem and submitted it for review.
@LlamaGoingNorth
I do have it disabled. I usually disable, just to keep my bootup time shorter, and I've had too many plugins update to newer versions than my current CB build supports. I've got:
updates:
autoupdate: false
remind: true
I do see the error goes away when I've got that enabled.
Thanks!
