Constant night?

[Stevolution]

Anyone got any ideas on a way to 'prevent' daytime, or ideally have constant night time?

I tried surrounding my world in a large black wool box in MCEdit, but the day still appears. Certainly something to do with draw distance I think (If you fly over to the wool wall - it appears, otherwise its not there).

I thought if I enclosed my world in a sealed box... no daylight. But I was wrong

If it's for a server, there's a few plugins that will do it for you. Just google some bukkit plugins.

Optifine has an option to set time to only night (or only day), though I believe that only works in creative mode.

[Stevolution]

Its not on a server (yet). Still setting up the world. I will have to have a play

Yep only works in Creative Mode

Mmm. Can't think of a way of doing this.

Cannot find any reliable mods to ensure constant night.

I know there were 'command' blocks in Minecraft (you had to request them in), but I don't think they had a 'time' function.

Those have all admin commands, including time set.

They're not in Tekkit yet though.

I can surround the world in black wool, but as soon as you move out of draw distance, the wool disappears and the sunshine appears.

Anyway... it was supposed to be an 'off world' planet style build..... until it rained. Oh yea... need to kill that as well.

Time to back away

Mystcraft night world

If your playing single player, right click the raindrop, morning noon and evening to lock it in night and noweather

[Stevolution]

Thanks Silent. I will try that.

This build has become slightly more 'epic' in size than I had originally intended. But hey... what else is there to do in the evenings (My wife being the exception)

[Graziservers]

Essentials or server signs. You can do this in both.

Make a sign that changes the time to day when you click it. If you're looking for something that keeps it day, not sure. Probably a mod. Not a plugin.

[Stevolution]

The mod would need to keep it night. I don't want to have to keep clicking stuff to change the time. I can turn off weather in options.

If I had a super mega computer, with all draw distances maxed out... then the 'wool box' idea would probably work, but I just don't have the processor power.

Plus, if I ever decided to ship this map out to others - which is a possibility, then it needs to work on other peoples computers that may be of a lesser spec.

I have found a few mods that keep it constantly night.... but they are buggy and most of them 'break' something else in the process.

Right-Click on a time of day setting in NEI's cheat mode and it will disable that time of day completely. Just only enable midnight and the moon should reset to the beginning of the night before the light levels start increasing again.

Would this help you? http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/timelock/

[Stevolution]

Thanks Aj45 - I will try that mod.

The game is usually in survival, so I can't use cheat mode

[Teraku]

Just use it temporarily.

Glad to be of service. Just make sure the version of the plugin matches your version of bukkit.
