🌅Daylight System

The Daylight System in AdvancedSeasons adds another layer of realism to Minecraft by altering the length of day and night according to the seasons. This system is intricately tied to the Calendar System, as explained in the calendars/default-calendar.yml file, allowing for a seamless integration of time and seasonal changes.

Understanding the Daylight System

Seasonal Day and Night Lengths

• Varied Daylight Hours: The length of daylight and nighttime varies with each season, reflecting the natural changes in day length experienced in different seasons in the real world.

• Configurable Settings: These variations are customizable in the calendar.yml file, offering server administrators the ability to tailor the day/night cycle to their server's theme or preference.

Technical Configuration

• Within the calendars/default-calendar.yml file, the dayLength and nightLength for each season can be set in real-world minutes.

• Example settings for each season might include:

  • Spring and Fall: Equal lengths for day and night for a balanced gameplay experience.

  • Summer: Longer days and shorter nights to simulate longer daylight hours typical of the season.

  • Winter: Shorter days and longer nights, reflecting the shorter daylight hours during this season.

Gameplay Implications

• Strategic Planning: Players need to adapt their activities according to the varying lengths of day and night, adding a strategic element to the game.

• Enhanced Immersion: The changing daylight hours contribute to a more immersive experience, making each season feel distinct and real.

Integration with Calendar System

The Daylight System works hand-in-hand with the Calendar System, providing a cohesive and immersive experience. As the seasons change according to the calendar, so do the lengths of day and night, making each season in the game feel unique and dynamic.
