Seasons tweaks

[plover 0]

It acurres to me that for single player worlds the current length of seasons is impractical, I understand the strive for accuracy but for worlds that are not constantly loaded the length of seasons is a bit absurd for a game. shortening them significantly makes fruits and future agricultural products much more viable. for servers the current state may be fine.

If I remember correctly, the seasons are proportionate to the length of the day-night cycle.

how many days per season? If its set up so there is a realistic year thats too much I could never stay in a world for a full minecraft year. I think my record is a month. strongly against realisticly timed seasons.

I don't think he means the seasons are timed to RL days, I think he means that the minecraft sun will set 365 times (each time is about 10 RL minutes) for a full TFC year to elapse. That's about 2.4 days IRL.

LOL Yeah, they're timed to MC days. I think Bioxx discussed it in the IRC channel but I can't remember the specifics.

This should just be one of those things that's adjustable in a configuration file, I think.

This is not something that can be easily changed via config because of how many facets of the game are affected by it. I can't just change one variable and suddenly years are half as long, sorry.

Ah, that's understandable. A compromise would be the ability to hibernate much like the majestic grizzly bear dreaming of the coming spring.

'day' in my case referring to the actual daytime, not a 24-hour cycle

[bsb23 303]

I still think its a little long i understand that people can play 2.4 real days straight easy however not all of us can I would like to say either a day or half a day IRL would be a year for the people who don't play all the time. Thats roughly 150 or 75 minecraft days still far longer than i have ever played.

If im not wrong i think that bioxx made it so that days are shorter and nights are longer at winter and days are longer and nights shorter at summer... If he hasnt implemented that i think he totaly should...

[Peffern 94]

I like that last idea.

[EternalUndeath 1,208]

FFFFFFFFF

Idea

atm, the minecraft sun always sets at exactly west, always.

Could Bioxx make the sun rise/set slightly more towards the north or south depending on season?

And then falling in with the advanced calendars thread from earlier, in the early days when you wouldn't have access to the calendar you could tell the season by how far north/south the sun was
