What does it do exactly? I thought it would set the time to whatever so that it could stay day for as long as I want, but using it says the Invalid command.
What be?

'settime' is a priv that allows the use of the command '/time'. The parameter to '/time' is the hour * 1000, so for noon you would use '/time 12000'. Dawn (it starts getting light) is 5000, and full daylight begins at 6000.
To make the time stay at whatever you set it to, use '/set time_speed 0' to stop the day/night cycle.

Ah, I see. I typed /help settime and that gave nothing compared to what you mentioned. (Maybe the /help should be updated. So to continue time is it '/set time_speed 1'?

As you can see here the default time speed is 72

Oh, now that's helpful. Thanks for the info.

settime is the privilege
/time is the command

time_speed 1 makes 1 Minetest day an IRL day (i.e. 24 hours).

now that would make a cool server. Then it would be more realistic.PilzAdam wrote:Gambit wrote:Menche wrote:'settime' is a priv that allows the use of the command '/time'.

Yeah, I was playing with those recently and I think I broke it. I had '/set time_speed 72' to reset the speed but the moon just kept going up and down, up and down at the horizon which was kinda funny.

You may have to restart the server; I've noticed that turning time_speed back up in-game makes the sun/moon just bounce back and forth.

I think the sun and moon want to stay in the sky. :/
Slightly related to topic: I wrote a lengthy article on wiki.minetest.com (old wiki), named Time of day, with a lot of example values (so you don’t have to juggle the numbers). You may find it helpful. The article may be copied to the new wiki in the future (hopefully!), as the admin of the old wiki seems to have disappeared.
As for time_speed (day/night cycle speed), you can calculate the needed time_speed value if you know the desired duration of a Minetest day in (real) hours with this formula:
<time_speed> = 24 / <real time in hours>
A special case is time_speed = 0. With this value, the sun and the moon do not move at all and you could have an eternal dusk (for examle).

Thank you.
