DagrNott CustomDayCycle

DagrNott_CustomDayCycle

DagrNott_CustomDayCycle is a lightweight mod designed to customize and balance Valheim's day, night, dawn, and dusk cycle pacing.

About the Name: Dagr & Nótt

In Norse mythology, Dagr (the personification of Day) and his mother Nótt (the personification of Night) ride their celestial chariots across the heavens to drive the progression of time. In this mod, Dagr & Nótt empowers you to control the speed of the cosmos, fine-tuning the duration of daylight, nightfall, dawn, and dusk.

Features

• Granular Phase Multipliers: Customize the speed and duration of Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Night independently.
• Extended Balanced Daytime: Defaults to a balanced ~60-minute cycle with extended daylight (~30m) and immersive night (~20m).
• Synchronized Client Visuals: Synchronizes visual cycle pacing across all clients via Jotunn without altering underlying network or water simulation clocks.

Installation Type

• Location: Must be installed on both the Server and the Client.
• Enforcement: Client versions must match the server version.

Manual Install

• Ensure BepInEx and Jotunn are installed.
• Extract the downloaded.zip archive.
• Copy DagrNott_CustomDayCycle.dll into your Valheim/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.
• Launch the game once to generate the default configuration file.

Configuration

The configuration file is automatically created at BepInEx/config/com.bigai.dagrnott_customdaycycle.cfg after running the game once.

AI Disclosure

I made this mod using AI. Most of the code in this mod was AI generated. If you have an issue with this, I completely understand and urge you to not use this mod. This mod ("DagrNott_CustomDayCycle") is meant as a lightweight mod for small servers that don't need all the bells and whistles of a more complex mod.
