Make Something Happen After Certain Amount of Minecraft Days

[gegy1000]

I want to make a certain event happen after a certain amount of Minecraft days. But I'm not sure how I would go about doing this. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

You will need a tick handler and you will want it to check the world.getWorldTime() value and check to see if it's the "when" you want your Thing to happen, and then Do It.

Doesn't world.getWorldTime() just return the time of day?

Nope.

Yes. Use getTotalWorldTime() instead.

 

Except that, as far as I can tell, getWorldTime() is not actually restricted to 0-23999.  It doesn't tick when doDayNightCycle is false, but nothing modulos it back below 24000.  getWorldTime() also respects sleeping in beds whereas getTotalWorldTime does not.  Check WorldServer.java lines 185 and 159.

 

So yes, in this situation getWorldTime() is in fact the better call.

True enough, it is.

The question then is:

"Is this something that should happen after the game has been played for X hours?" or "Is this something that should occur after a certain amount of game time?"

The former would use getTotalWorldTime() - doesn't care what time of day it is, only how long since the world was created, effectively measured in Real Time

The latter would use getWorldTime() - it respects sleeping and the reset of the game clock
