Real Seasons
Real Seasons serves as a server-side utility mod that alters the functioning of seasons from Glitchfiend's Serene Seasons plugin. Instead of the standard dependency on in-game time, seasonal transitions here are synchronized with real-time progression.
How the System Operates
The game world begins its existence with early spring at midnight on the start date. The key advantage lies in the continuous seasonal cycle: changes occur even when the server is shut down or the game is closed.
Configuration and Control
The duration of each season is adjustable through the configuration file. For managing temporal settings, special commands are available:
/resetSeasonCycle <starting_season> <local/UTC> <time>``` - sets the starting point of the seasonal cycle, where time is specified in HHmm format (for example, 1900 means 19:00)</li> <li>/getSeasonCycle <local/UTC>``` - provides detailed information about the current state of the seasonal cycle
Using the local time parameter accounts for the server's time zone, while UTC operates according to coordinated universal time.
