Fake Date
Change date at will
About this Mod
Overview
Small utility mod that allows you to "counterfeit" the system date, for several possible purposes:
- To test or experience festival content without changing the date at system level
- To disable festival content in certain mods by faking a non-festival date
Configuration
The configuration file can be found at config/fakedate.toml:
#Specifies the year to fake (0 = disable)
fakeYear = 0
#Specifies the month to fake (0 = disable, 1 = January, 2 = February, ...)
fakeMonth = 0
#Specifies the day to fake (0 = disable)
fakeDayOfMonth = 0
#Only fake date when queried by specified mods
#Use * to allow any (not recommended)
filter = ["enter_modid_here"]
#When enabled, prints verbose information when faking date
debugFakingDate = true
#When enabled, prints verbose information when not faking date (mod is not in filter)
debugNonFakingDate = true
Side Requirement
This mod does not have strict side requirements. This means it is possible to install the mod on the client-side without it being present on the dedicated server, and vice versa. The date will only be faked for the side(s) with the mod installed.

Fake Date server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Fake Date officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Fake Date – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Fake Date consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
