I read that the change in the length of day and night varies depending on time of year in minetest. If it's true do i can set the summer forever in minetest.conf to have long day and short nigh or another method?

Currently there are no seasons.

This one would do it. You would have to write a small mod so you can use it.

Or you could use beds.

minetest.override_day_night_ratio don't change the duration of the day and the night, in that it don't change the "speed" of the sun and the moon. It only changes the brightness.

You could use minetest.get_timeofday() and minetest.set_timeofday(val) to fake it. It might not look very good, but you could add time to a cycle by periodically setting the time of day back by a small fraction, and subtract time by jumping forward every so often.

It would be an ugly hack, but it would work.

You could increase the speed at day and decrease it at night.

Something like this should do the trick for day/night cycles/

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: local dspeed = "72" local nspeed = "144" local morn = 6000 local night = 22000 local timer = 0 minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) timer = timer + dtime; if timer >= 100 then if minetest.get_timeofday() * 24000 >= morn and minetest.get_timeofday() * 24000 <= morn +1000 then minetest.setting_set("time_speed", dspeed) elseif minetest.get_timeofday() * 24000 >=night and minetest.get_timeofday() * 24000 <=night +1000 then minetest.setting_set("time_speed", nspeed) end timer = 0 end end)

Nice idea. How about this little bit tuned script?

Code: Select all: local day_speed = minetest.setting_get("time_speed") local night_speed = tostring(tonumber(day_speed) * 2) local morn = 6000 local night = 22000 local timer = 0 minetest.register_globalstep(function(dtime) timer = timer + dtime if timer < 1 then return end timer = 0 local time_in_seconds = minetest.get_timeofday() * 24000 if time_in_seconds >= morn and time_in_seconds <= morn + 1000 then minetest.setting_set("time_speed", day_speed) elseif time_in_seconds >= night and time_in_seconds <= night + 1000 then minetest.setting_set("time_speed", night_speed) end end)

Sadly, I'm not sure whether the time setting is saved nor not..

That looks nice. Just need to make a little change cause it is changing the speed a few time for each. I am just changing the morn+1000 to morn+100 an same for night.
