Keeps getting stuck at night cycle.
No matter what day length I have. 30 minutes or several hours. As soon as night hits, it never goes back to daylight. The stars and clouds stop moving, just night time.

If I exit game and edit daylight settings, when I reload it seems to go to morning. Then its all good until night again.

I did stop sun rotation after searching the forums, but that seems to keep it stuck at early morning.

Its just kind of annoying, I would prefer a normal day/night cycle.

If anyone knows a fix, that would be great. If not, then I still enjoy the game as is.

If you're in creative use the time offset in the Alt+F10 menu.

I should have mentioned. I am playing survival. I am hosting on online game with two of my friends.

I kept everything at the default settings at first. I did not start changing settings until after the night cycle got stuck.

You dont need creative mode to edit the sun position, the slider works in normal survival mode too

You probably need to enable creative mode tools though.

Hi, it's a strange bug that I never noticed from community members and I am in since 2013 so I really don't know what is going on your side = :riddle:

First thing I would try =

I would backup the original save and create a new one just for testing to see if it is "bugged" in your original save only.

Hi, the game was not the same in 2019 and best to create a new forum discusion because of the following :

We lock +3 months old discussions because the game is not the same after a update where old disscussions may contain false information, discussions that don't have any activity so no new posts since 3 months. also to avoid community reports about "Necroing old" and it is in the forum rules added to pinned green messages.

Never be shy to create a new forum discussion, one problem at a time so all can help on one idea/player per discussions that matches the game version.
