Sporadic 2799 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I feel like I've made this guide many times before, but I suppose it bears repeating now that the specifics are all taken care of. With the Agronomy plugin, time is synchronized to the real world clock, and will behave in a predictable manner. This is outlined below. You can obtain a briefer, ingame version of this guide with the command /help calendar Duration of the Lotcian time units: 1 Lotcian Day - 1 Hour 1 Seed - 1 Day 1 Year - 1 Week The 0 tick in the internal Minecraft day clock is synchronized to occur on each round hour. For laymen, tick 0 in minecraft (which has 24000 ticks in a day) would look roughly as ~8am ingame. This means that a 'sunrise' will be seen on every full hour by the players. Furthermore, each month switch will occur at noon GMT of each day. Due to this, the following IC and OOC statements are equivalent: "Sunrise of the 9th day" <-> "9pm gmt" Sequence of the Months: In the current state of the plugin, the following correspondence exists between the RL week and the LotC months. Note that the mentioned seed is the one the calender observes after the mentioned noon GMT seed change of that day. Monday: The Amber Cold Tuesday: The Deep Cold Wednesday: Snow's Maiden Thursday: Malin's Welcome Friday: The First Seed Saturday: The Grand Harvest Sunday: Sun's Smile This approach mostly benefits the American playerbase, who will effectively observe a month on LotC to coincide with every new day. Time Dilation (lengthening of the days): During the summer (which you will notice always coincides with the weekends) nights are relatively made shorter without altering the duration of a day. Sunset and sundown are always a constant length (5 minutes), leaving day and night to distribute the remaining 50 minutes. In winter, night is about 20 minutes while day is 30. During summer, day takes up a total of 45 minutes leaving a night of 5 minutes. Fall and Spring are transitional seasons, where the days will get gradually shorter and longer respectively. Footnotes: [1] These times are all with Daylight savings time in effect. How seasons will react to the clocks turning back is still unspecified as of right now. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodEmperorFlam 3447 Share Posted July 25, 2014 wasnt it two weeks to a year a little bit ago because thats what im gonna follow It was and honestly I liked it at that. If you can't play for a few days, you've already missed nearly half the year with this new time keeping thing. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
