📋 About This Mod
# Longer Days **Longer Days** is a data pack, installable as a mod, that extends the length of the day by pausing at specific times. This gives players just a bit more time to make meaningful accomplishments, and is especially helpful when the sleeping is disabled. - By default, extends the 10 minute day to 15 minutes, by pausing the day cycle 5 times for 1 minute each. - You can configure the pause duration for any of these. - You can configure 3 additional pauses during the night if you want to make the nights last longer too. - Fully vanilla-compatible, no client side mods are necessary. The GIF shows this in action. Shaders below are Complementary Unbound, which uses the day cycle to control the clouds, so pausing the day also stops the clouds. This isn't noticeable while you actually play the game. <img width="100%" src="https://github.com/clo4/datapacks/blob/slow-day/longer-days/day_progression.gif?raw=true" alt="Day cycle pausing at sunrise and morning"> <br> ## Configuration You can set the number of ticks to pause any time for with the following commands, replacing `TICKS` with the number of ticks you want the day cycle to be extended by. There are 20 ticks in 1 second, so 1 minute is 1200, 2 is 2400, 3 is 3600, etc. You should always use a multiple of 100, as the time of day will only be checked once every 5 seconds (100 ticks). | Time | Default | Scoreboard value name | | --- | --- | --- | | Sunrise | 1200 | `/scoreboard players set .sunrise longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Morning | 1200 | `/scoreboard players set .morning longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Noon | 1200 | `/scoreboard players set .noon longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Afternoon | 1200 | `/scoreboard players set .afternoon longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Sunset | 1200 | `/scoreboard players set .sunset longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Twilight (evening) | 0 | `/scoreboard players set .twilight_evening longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Midnight | 0 | `/scoreboard players set .midnight longer_days.settings TICKS` | | Twilight (morning) | 0 | `/scoreboard players set .twilight_morning longer_days.settings TICKS` | > _Tip: triple-click any command above to select the entire command_ It's also possible to entirely override the logic that determines when these pauses are done.
