can you turn of nighttime?

[masamuneangel]

hi can someone tell me if it's possible to turn off nighttime in creative? since i only play on creative it makes it very difficult for me to see since the torches give very little light

Use "/grant singleplayer all" to get all privileges that exist.
Then use the command "/time 6000" to get daytime.

If you add the setting :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

time_speed = 0

to the minetest.conf the current time will never change,

so for example if you set it to noon with Krock's method in chat by typing

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

/time 12000

it will stay midday for ever as the time will not proceed anymore.

how do i find the minetest.conf?

[Dragonop]

Minetest.conf is on your minetest folder. Open it with a text editor.

You can also do these commands:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

/time 12000
/set -n time_speed 0


[masamuneangel]

i couldn't find time speed in minetest.conf but i found it in mintest.conf example, will that do?

[Dragonop]

minetest.conf.example is that, an example.
if you don't find anything on minetest.conf, just add it.

If you add the setting :

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

time_speed = 0

[masamuneangel]

thanks, i wouldn't have realised ^.^

How to reduce night or increase day?

[Wuzzy]

Well, just use the time command as described above and use an appropirate number for the desired time of day.
See http://wiki.minetest.net/Time_of_day for a list of useful values for the time command.

If this does not answer your question, then you need to reword your question so we can understand it.

More infos about setting the time:

Since 0.4.13, the time command was extended to also accept times in the 24-hour format.
So you could just type in into the console or chat:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

/time 10:30


Instead of the harder to calculate:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

/time 10500


Alternatively, you can also set the time of day directly in the world files without having to start Minetest before. Look for the file %YOUR_MINETEST_USER_DIRECTORY%/worlds/%YOUR_WORLD_NAME%/env_meta.txt (Replace the weird “%%” names with the directories approprieate to your system). Edit the number on the line which says “time_of_day” and use a value between 0 and 24000 (same format as for /time, but 24-hour format is not supported).
