DayCycle
Java mod listed for Minecraft 26.x. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
⬇ Download on ModrinthThis plugin lets you change the duration of the day and night cycles in seconds. Fully open source.
In vanilla minecraft, a full day lasts 20 minutes, with no way to change it whatsoever. DayCycle fixes this, by overriding the vanilla time cycle and running a proper one (using simple mathematics), to prevent conflicts with the vanilla system.
Recommended to use in servers with a realistic modality, as it makes days last real time hours.
It's pretty much lightweight and very simple to use (requires minimal configuration).
