Time of Day has a very basic functionality- keep the time of day on a server within a constant range. It can be four already specified times (always day, always night, always morning, or always evening), or a specific and custom range that you set yourself.
Understand that staying on morning/evening can cause some FPS and server-side lag due to all the lighting updates. That said, if your client or server doesn't seem to be influenced by morning/evening lighting updates under regular circumstances, looping them should not be much of a problem.
To prevent lag, the plugin only checks to see what time of day it is every 5 seconds. Understand that even if it checked every 0.5 seconds it wouldn't cause any lag, but as a server owner myself, I like to keep things as lightweight as possible. Basically, what this means is that this plugin will leave an almost negligible footprint.
Simply drag 'n' drop the .jar file into your server's plugins folder, as with all other plugins. A config.yml will be auto-generated when the plugin is first run. The plugin has no dependencies and nothing depends on it, so it's as easy as that.
Default config file:
timeofday: none #custom start: 5000 end: 3000
The timeofday option can be set to none/day/night/morning/evening/custom, or you can simply use the in-game command to set it. Start and end specify (in ticks) what time the custom loop starts and ends at. As the config is now, you get to 3000 ticks (9AM) and then skip to 5000 ticks (11AM). However, it can be set to anything. To avoid breaking things, keep values below 24000 and make sure that they are integers.
