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.

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.

- Server-Authoritative Synchronization: Automatic time progression handling on dedicated servers with zero client-side desync.
- In-Game Status Command: Added admin-restricted
/dn,/dn status, and/dagrandnottchat commands to check active phase and cycle configuration in real-time. - Phase Transition Logging: Optional server console logging when transitions between Dawn, Day, Dusk, and Night occur.
