    I'd really like a mod that allows me to take control of the day/night cycle.

    I've already got theory on how it could work, but I don't want to do it with command blocks for consistency reasons, and I lack the ability to code.

    My goal is to bring my server's day/night cycle as close to 2 hours as possible. It would make planning adventures on my server a lot more interesting, and make the night more formidable.

    'Virtual Pendulum' method:
    1. Stop time with the 'doDaylightCycle' rule set to false, to prevent the sky from suttering - this could be done upon the mod loading.
    2. Counting server ticks, add one tick to the time every second/third/fourth/etc. tick instead, effectively lengthening the day by double/triple/quadruple/etc. I know adding time is possible through a vanilla command, so I hope there's some other way of adding time to a day.

    I can see this being done without commands or permissions necessary, using only a config file, but if you see it as needed, feel free.

    I've done some more looking into the concept. What I want would probably be remarkably similar to this: http://wiki.bukkit.org/Scheduler_Programming#Self-Canceling_Example

    And this no-longer-working plugin

    After googling a bit I found this, sounds like exactly what you need. (Should work with 1.8)http://www.planetminecraft.com/mod/minetime---change-the-duration-of-a-day-in-minecraft/

    EDIT: Works perfectly for me on my 1.8 test bukkit server

    EDIT2: I just found another one that is a bit more practical and is an official 1.8 plugin http://www.curse.com/bukkit-plugins/minecraft/customtime "You are welcome :)"

    So, Customtime is exactly what I need. Thank you for the help! My google searches never gave me anything helpful. I even tried for a few days before posting. The google-fu is weak with me, I guess!
