About this Mod

⚙️ How it works:

Vanilla time progression is disabled (doDaylightCycle = false).

The mod manually advances the world's time by 0.2222 ticks per server tick, which equals 4.444 ticks per second, instead of the default 20.

This simulates a much slower day/night rhythm without affecting gameplay or server performance.

⏱️ Technical Details:

The server continues running at 20 ticks per second.

Only the world's time (timeOfDay) is modified.

Entities, redstone, player actions, etc., remain at normal speed.

A full cycle (24,000 ticks) now takes 5400 seconds = 90 minutes IRL.

    ☀️ Day (0–12000 ticks): 45 minutes

    🌙 Night (12000–24000 ticks): 45 minutes
