Solstice
Solstice
Control the lengths of days and nights using minute definitions.
Solstice seamlessly controls the experience, with minimal sky stuttering.
The 4 aspects of the day that can be controlled are:
- Day time
- Night time
- Sunset
- Sunrise
They are controlled by multipliers, which means that if you set a value of 14 minutes for nighttime, night would take twice as long (the vanilla default is 7 minutes).
Solstice is currently in-development.
Does it change the ticks in any way? I hear redstone can get messed up by that.
Sounds great!

I'm planning a CraftBukkit - esque storm control plugin, but it'll probably be a separate one.
@HOUSEMASTERR
Might be a bit difficult to have permanent sunset/sunrise, without massive transitions, but the TPS-independent scheduler is working better than I hoped at the moment. However, the drawback is that this relies on the system time (as forcing several time updates in a single tick causes issues), and I'll have to find a way to work around that.
@DivinityCraft
Unlike that particular plugin, this currently works not by forcing a tick change or delay, but by subtly adjusting the time. I currently have a scheduler working, and it doesn't do any drastic time changes, by using some basic calc to determine the supposed time.
Currently, in testing, it doesn't break redstone or anything at all. I'm working on support for time conversions and the /time command.
Can't wait to have only sunsets and sunrises permanently, that are also not affected by tps being lower than 20.
We currently use this plugin: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/timefold/ It simply rewinds the clock a configurable amount of times to make day and night longer instead of actually making the nights and days longer. They motivate it with this: "It does not really set the time back into the past (that would break redstone and growing etc) but instead, it skips the night.". Will your plugin be able to avoid these redstone and growing problems and still be able to actually make days and nights longer? If so we will go over to it.
I'm really excited about this! I've been desperate for a good day/ night cycle plugin. I know it's too early to add to the wishlist, but making it rain less on my server would be pretty awesome, too :)
Nice!
