About this mod Author’s original text
ControlTime
This valheim mod allows you to force the time of day, disable rain, disable nights by skipping them by adjusting the night skip interval and setting the minute duration of day/night cycle to make days longer or shorter.
Features
It syncs with all the people that have the mod installed and the values can only be changed by server admins. To sync to other players the configuration manager has to be closed, until then the changes are only local to the player.
- Force Time of Day:
- Enable isForceTimeOfDay and adjust the forcedTimeOfDayFraction slider to set a fixed time of day. The sun/moon will move in real-time as you adjust the slider.
- Disable Rain:
- Use isRemoveRain to stop rain from interrupting your adventures.
- Skip Night:
- Activate isSkipNight to skip the night without the usual animations, allowing you to adjust the skipTimeStep for customizable speed.
Warning: This mod can mess up the number shown in number of days passed, becase the game calculates it based on day duration, so changing the game duration makes it fluctuate. I don't think that has any real repercussion on gameplay, but can affect other mods that use that number of days.
Installation (Manual)
- Install BepInEx and Jötunn.
- Extract the contents of ControlTime into the BepInEx/plugins folder
For best results, install this mod on both the server and all clients to avoid time desynchronization, ensuring everyone experiences the same conditions.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
