You can change the time of day on your server via command or pause it completely.

How to Change the Time via Command

  1. Open dashboard
    Open the dashboard of your Hytale server.

  2. Enter the Command
    Enter the following command in the console:

    time <value> --world <worldname>
    

    Replace <worldname> with the name of your world (e.g., default).

Examples:

time dawn --world default
time noon --world default
time dusk --world default
time set 18 --world default

Available Time Values

Value Alternative Description
dawn morning, day Dawn
midday noon Noon
dusk night Dusk
midnight - Midnight
0-24 set 0-24 Hour as a number (0 = midnight, 12 = noon), e.g., time 18 or time set 18

Show Current Time

To display the current world time:

time --world default

Pause Game Time

Use time pause --world default to stop time. Entering the command again lets it run again. The state is saved in the world's configuration and is kept after a restart. For more options, e.g., a fixed time of day for building servers, see Pause Game Time.
