# Offline Daylight Stop<\/p>\n
### Offline Daylight Stop is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.20.1<\/p>\n
# Features<\/p>\n
Offline Daylight Stop pauses Minecraft’s Daylight cycle while there are no players on the server.<\/p>\n
This mod is extremely lightweight (a single Java file), and does little by itself, but enhances immersion when using other mods such as Fabric Seasons.<\/p>\n
### How it works<\/p>\n
* When the server has 0 players online, a timer is started. Once the timer expires, the `doDaylightCycle` gamerule is set to `false`.
\n* When a player connects, the `doDaylightCycle` gamerule is set to `true`.<\/p>\n
The timer is set to a random value between 12 and 24 in-game hours (10 and 20 minutes in real time, respectively). This small time window keeps the little surprise of the time of day being different each time you join intact, and allows some time for things like weather to pass.<\/p>\n
Obviously, this mod is intended for use on Survival servers that do not toy with the `doDaylightCycle` gamerule.<\/p>\n
