Features

This plugin sets one of five modes for a world (of your choice, obviously) - normal, day and night, dusk, dawn or you can create your own schedule! Normal doesn't affect the time, day resets the time to just before 14:00 every now and then, while night does the same with 02:00 and dusk and dawn.. well, you get the idea. You'll be also able to create your own cycle.

Uses:

• Weather-control! (see how to create a schedule)
• Sync to real-time time!
• Make your own cycle! (see how to create a schedule)
• Creative-servers where you always want it to be day!
• Survival-servers (or worlds on survival servers, for instance: questing) where you want it to be night all the time and have monsters pop up, or make the surface more of a "safe-zone" by having day all the time.
• Keep the nether dark till we get the proper red fog (better than nothing ;))! Not needed anymore! Good job, Bukkit-team!

Command reference (requires op or permissions)

All commands start with /tc or /tweakedcycle - run without a parameter to get help ingame, () denote aliases (l)ist - show available worlds (defaults to i=0 if called without the parameter) (r)eload - reloads worlds (s)et worldname mode - sets a mode, either normal/0, day/1, night/2, dusk/3, dawn/4, real/5 OR your own schedule name, you may use + as space in the worldname. Worldname can be multiple worlds separated by spaces, don't use quotes! Cycle-creation: (l)ist(s)chedules [#] - lists avilable schedules (d)elete(s)chedule name - deletes a schedule (n)ew(s)chedule name sched - creates a new schedule (read how to create a schedule) (s)ched(r)es [#] - modifies time-resolution or shows the current one (default 15) (b)road(c)ast - modifies whether the server broadcasts impending day-changes (approx. 15, 30 and 60 secs before the actual change happens)

How to create a schedule

The schedule-formating is as follows: timeofday:length(r),timeofday:length(r).... timeofday is either 1,2,3,4 - day - 1, night- 2, dusk - 3, dawn - 4, you may use either words or numbers to describe time of day. Length is the number of schedule-ticks you want the cycle to last. If you set it to 2, it'll last two cycles, if you don't provide any number, it'll last 1 cycle, if you provide 4r, then the time of day will be reset to timeofday per schedule-tick. Examples: 2:2r,1:2 - will give two night-ticks where the position of the moon is reset per tick and then two day-ticks where the sun isn't reset. 1,2:2,3:3,4:4r - will give one day-tick, two night-ticks, 3 dusk-ticks and 4 resetting dawn-ticks. Weather: add "-[modes]" to timeofday. Available modes are s/d, t/c. s = storm, d = drought, t = thunder, c = calm. Remember: you can't have thunder without storm ;) Weather is relative, meaning if you do -st and then nothing, you'll have st for the next timeofday as well. Example usage: /tc ns myschedule 1-st:2,3:3,4-sc:5,2-t - this will give two ticks of day and thunderstorm, 3 ticks of dusk with the thunderstorm still going on and then 5 ticks of of rain and dawn and the at last, a tick of night with thunderstorm (inherited from the phase before). Fun things you can try: Create a raveparty! First: /tc sr 1 Then: /tc ns rave 1,2,3,4 Finally: /tc s world rave[/spoiler]
