LongerDays

LongerDays

Take control of time. Customize day and night cycles to your liking.

LongerDays is a lightweight, performance-focused Paper plugin that lets you customize the duration of days and nights using simple, minute-based commands.

Make your days longer, nights shorter, or both, without changing the server's tick rates, entity speeds, crop growth, or redstone mechanics. Every calculation is done smoothly in the background, ensuring zero impact on your server's TPS.

✨ Features

🕒 Time Cycle Customization

• Custom Day/Night Cycles: Control exactly how long days and nights last using real-world minutes.
• Per-World Settings: Give each world its own unique cycle, or restore vanilla 10-minute cycles where you want.
• Safe Dimension Handling: Automatically ignores dimensions without a normal sky clock (like the Nether and the End) to prevent issues.

🛠️ Commands & Permissions

Tip: You can use either /longerdays or the shorter alias /ld for all commands.
