Hourglass is a Minecraft Forge mod that gives you control over the passage of time. It allows you to customize the length of the day-night cycle and alters the Minecraft sleep mechanic by accelerating the speed of time.

## 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.

Hourglass 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.

Hourglass 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](#configuration). ## Compatibility Hourglass is compatible with the following mods: * [Comforts](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/comforts) * [Serene Seasons](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/serene-seasons) * [Enhanced Celestials](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/enhanced-celestials) * [Quark](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/quark) * The Improved Sleeping module of Quark interferes with the sleep feature of Hourglass. [See note below.](#sleep-vote-mods) * The "Nerf Clock" Quark option breaks the bed clock in Hourglass. Either the Quark tweak should be disabled or the Hourglass Bed Clock should be disabled via the `displayBedClock` config. * [Morpheus](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/morpheus) * The sleep feature of Hourglass will need to be disabled to use it alongside Morpheus. [See note below.](#sleep-vote-mods) * [Good Night's Sleep](https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/good-nights-sleep) #### Sleep Vote Mods Hourglass 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 Hourglass 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. ## Commands #### `/hourglass config []` Modifies or displays the current value of the specified config option.

If the `` argument is omitted, this command will display the config option's current value.

Some configurations are not available through this command and need to be accessed via the config files. #### `/hourglass query timeSpeed` Displays the current speed at which time is elapsing. #### `/hourglass query sleeperCount` Displays the ratio of players sleeping in the current dimension. ## Configuration All configuration values can be changed at runtime without reloading the game.

While many of the configuration options are accessible through via the [config command](#hourglass-config-config-key-value), some can only be accessed by visiting the mod's config files. Most of the options are located in the mod's [server config file](#default-server-config) in both single-player worlds and multiplayer servers. A few client-specific options also exist in the [client config file](#default-client-config).

Modpack developers may customize the Hourglass server settings in their modpack by first tweaking the server settings in a test world and then moving the file to the `./defaultconfigs` folder of their modpack. Forge will move all files in the `defaultconfigs` folder into the `serverconfig` folder of all newly created worlds.

When customizing Hourglass, the **speed of time** is controlled using a multiplier. A value of 1 is equivalent to vanilla speed (20 minutes for a full day-night cycle). Setting daySpeed and nightSpeed to 0.5 will cut the speed of time in half, doubling the duration of a full day to 40 minutes. Likewise, doubling the configured speed to 2.0 will result in a shortened day lasting only 10 minutes from one morning to the next. > _**Warning:** Setting daySpeed and nightSpeed to values higher than 3600 may be unsafe for people with photosensitive epilepsy._ ### Default Server Config Location relative to Minecraft folder: * Single-player worlds: `./saves//serverconfig/hourglass-server.toml` * Multiplayer servers: `./world/serverconfig/hourglass-server.toml` ```toml [time] #The speed at which time passes during the day. #Day is defined as any time between 23500 (middle of dawn) and 12500 (middle of dusk) the next day. #Vanilla speed: 1.0 #Range: 0.0 ~ 24000.0 daySpeed = 1.0 #The speed at which time passes during the night. #Night is defined as any time between 12500 (middle of dusk) and 23500 (middle of dawn). #Vanilla speed: 1.0 #Range: 0.0 ~ 24000.0 nightSpeed = 1.0 [time.effects] #When applied, this effect syncs the passage of weather with the current speed of time. #I.e., as time moves faster, rain stops faster.
