Better Days

Description

A Minecraft 1.19+ mod to designed to extend the length of the crazy short minecraft day.

Notice

This mod was originally designed as a 1.15.2 mod. However, due to being too busy to update to 1.16.5, Hourglass mod was created. Now Hourglass hasn't received any updates in nearly a year, plus there are new features that needed added. I've revived Better Days to update for not only 1.19 and 1.20, but also bring all the features to BOTH Forge and Fabric.

1.19+ is a fork of Hourglass mod, with new features and some functionality removed. 1.18.2 is a backport for both Forge and Fabric that contains all of the 1.19+ features and bug fixes.

Differences from Hourglass Mod

• Commands removed.
• Forge only configuration screen removed.
• Syncing config updates with client. Now requires a restart.

Features

This mod (optionally) replaces the vanilla sleep functionality with a smooth and natural transition to morning by accelerating the passage of time while you're in bed. In multiplayer, time will pass faster depending on the percentage of players who are currently sleeping. This removes the need for any sleep voting system or player threshold, as any number of players can have an impact on the duration of the night.

Better Days allows for customization of the day-night cycle duration, and can control day and night speed independently. Rather than the vanilla duration of 20 minutes, you can slow down time to make a day in Minecraft last as long as a day in real life, or speed up the passage of nights for a more forgiving experience.

Better Days also provides a number of time effects that may speed up the progression of various elements in Minecraft to match the current speed of time. Some examples include crop growth, grass growth, weather, potion effects, furnaces, hoppers, etc. Most of these time effects are disabled by default but can be enabled by setting their associated config options.

Compatibility

Better Days is compatible with the following mods:

• Homeostatic
• Ready Player Fun
• Comforts
• Sleep Warp
  • If mod is installed, sleep system is disabled.
• Fabric Seasons
• Serene Seasons
• Enhanced Celestials
• Quark
  • The Improved Sleeping module of Quark interferes with the sleep feature of Better Days. See note below.
  • The "Nerf Clock" Quark option breaks the bed clock in Better Days. Either the Quark tweak should be disabled or the Better Days Bed Clock should be disabled via the displayBedClock config.
• Nomadic Tents
  • Better Days is compatible with this mod. However, sleep causes an extra full day cycle to pass after waking.

Sleep Vote Mods

Better Days is compatible with mods that enable sleep voting or have sleep percentage systems like Quark and Morpheus, but they conflict with the sleep feature of this mod. These features should either be disabled in their corresponding mods, or the sleep feature in Better Days should be disabled. The sleep feature can be disabled via command or file by modifying the enableSleepFeature option.

Other Compatibility Notes

The Overworld is currently the only dimension supported. However, most dimensions in Minecraft (including custom dimensions) derive their time information from the Overworld and will therefore elapse time at the same rate.

This mod does not save data to world files and can safely be safely removed from a Minecraft installation.
