DAtime Mod – Custom Day/Night Cycle

The Datime mod slows down Minecraft's day/night cycle to match real-world time. Specifically, it extends one full Minecraft day (normally 20 minutes) to 1 hour and 30 minutes in real life.

🌤️ DAtime : Time Forecast

By default, a full Minecraft day lasts a mere 20 minutes. With DAtime, that cycle is extended to a realistic 1 hour and 30 minutes IRL.

☀️ Daytime

45 Min
(0–12000 ticks)

Longer exploration, building, and storytelling moments before the sun sets.

🌙 Nighttime

45 Min
(12000–24000 ticks)

Survive the prolonged darkness and experience true nocturnal immersion.

⚙️ Technical Barometer (How It Works)

The mod disables vanilla time progression (doDaylightCycle = false) and manually increases time by 0.2222 ticks per server tick (= 4.444 ticks/second instead of 20).

  • ✔️ No Performance Hit: Does NOT affect gameplay mechanics.
  • ✔️ Vanilla Speed: Everything else (entities, redstone, combat) stays at standard speed.
  • Stable 20 TPS: Server runs normally, only the timeOfDay is slowed.
  • 🔄 Full Cycle: 24,000 ticks = 5400 seconds = 90 minutes.

No lag, no desync — just smooth and immersive time control.
