Not many good plugins that do this and would love to be able to just script it.

Hi I'm AutoThreadBot! Don't mind me, I'll just be adding the helper team to this thread so they can see it. A human will get to you soon.

I've checked some of the spigot plugins that do that and all of them disabled the gamerule doDaylightCyclead and have a loop running to set the time manually.

So in denizen it would be

!e delta time

[regal tangle]

Event: delta time hourly|minutely|secondly

Group

Core

Event Lines

delta time hourly|minutely|secondly

Switches

every:<count> to only run the event every *count* times (like "on delta time secondly every:5" for every 5 seconds).

Triggers

every <count> seconds, minutes, or hours of game calculation time. Default repetitions count of 1.
This is specifically based on the rate of time advancement in the game server,
which is not necessarily equivalent to the real passage of time (for example, this event may fire slower if the server is lagging).
For real time, see !event system time.

Context

<context.second> returns the exact delta time since system start.

!c time

[regal tangle]

Command: Time

Group

world

Syntax

time ({global}/player) [<time-duration>/reset] (<world>) (reset:<duration>) (freeze)

Short Description

Changes the current time in the minecraft world.

Description

Changes the current time in a world or the time that a player sees the world in.
If no world is specified, defaults to the NPCs world. If no NPC is available,
defaults to the player's world. If no player is available, an error will be thrown.

If 'player' is specified, this will change their personal time.
This is separate from the global time, and does not affect other players.
When that player logs off, their time will be reset to the global time.
Additionally, you may instead specify 'reset' ...

You would have to math it out, 1 second is 20 ticks and a full day in minecraft are 20 minutes -> 24000 ticks.

With that knowledge you could do:

longer_days:
    type: world
    debug: false
    events:
        on delta time secondly:
        - define world <world[world_name]>
        - repeat 5:
            - time <[world].time.add[2]>t <[world]>
            - wait 4t

waitTime = 20t / amountRepeats
timeChangePerSecond = amountRepeats * timeAddition

In this case timeChangePerSecond is 10 minecraft ticks ( 5 * 2t ) instead of 20. The total waitTime must not exceed 20t, otherwise you'll create unlimited script queues. @alpine prairie

Oh awesome. Thank you!

Wonder how this will react with the players sleeping to skip night. I’ll test it out

[pastel plume]

Since you would have to disable the gameRule doDaylightCycle, they time won't change.

!e player enters bed

You could utilize this event and check if enough players are in beds and skip the time manually.

Using a world flag.

!guide long term memory

GuidePage: Long Term Memory: Flags

View the guide page 'Long Term Memory: Flags' at: https://guide.denizenscript.com/guides/basics/flags.html

[pastel plume]

When a player enters a bed, add 1 to the flag and compare that with the amount of players required inside the world.
When a player leaves a bed, sub 1 from the flag.

!t world.players

[regal tangle]

Tag: <WorldTag.players>

Returns a list of online players in this world.
