⚠️ Compatibility Note: This plugin is built for Minecraft 1.21.5 Purpur. I tested it on Purpur 1.21.5 and Spigot 1.21.1. It should work on 1.21.1-1.21.5 Spigot/Purpur/Paper/Bukkit.

This is a cut-out and improved fragment of my SmpMechanics plugin and forms a harmonious whole with Cozy Campfire and BetterSleep.
⏳ CustomDayNightTime
Take full control of time on your server!
CustomDayNightTime allows you to precisely define the duration of the day and night independently. Whether you want a 30-minute day for exploration and a 5-minute night for safety, or a realistic 24-hour cycle, this plugin handles it smoothly. It is designed to work flawlessly alongside BetterSleep, ensuring no time-skipping glitches occur.
✨ Key Features
- ⏱️ Precision Time Control: Set the duration of Day and Night separately using real-time seconds.
- Example: Make days last 20 minutes (1200s) and nights just 5 minutes (300s).
- 🤝 Seamless Integration: Built to detect the BetterSleep plugin automatically. If players start sleeping (fast-forwarding time), this plugin pauses its own timer to prevent "rubber-banding" or time conflicts.
- 🌍 Per-Player Language: Full support for English and Polish. Players can switch their interface language via
/ct language, and the choice is saved permanently. - 🧠 Smart Tab-Completion: The command system is intelligent. When typing
/ct dayor/ct night, the autocomplete suggests the currently set value first, making adjustments incredibly fast. - 💾 Persistent Data: All settings are saved to
config.ymlinstantly. No data loss on restarts.
Here are the updated, English command and permission tables, ready to be pasted into your plugin description page.
