# Synchrono
A mod for Minecraft that syncs the in-game daylight cycle to a location in real life.
It uses data from [SunriseSunset.io](https://sunrisesunset.io) to get accurate timestamps for sunrise and sunset, and [Open-Meteo.com](https://openmeteo.com) to get realtime weather updates. The location of the server can be set in configuration files.
## Usage
Before starting to play, you need to **set the coordinates of your server** (or whichever place you want to sync in-game time to). To get the appropriate coordinates, you could, for example, **search for "\ coordinates"** on the internet ([geodatos.net](https://www.geodatos.net/en/coordinates) often comes up). You should have **two decimal values**, either of which may be negative.
### GUI configuration
In the GUI configuration menu (needs [Mod Menu](https://modrinth.com/mod/modmenu)), you need the Latitude and Longitude options. If you're unsure which one is which, latitude usually comes first.
### Configuration file
The configuration file (needed eg. when on a server) is located at `/config/synchrono.json5`. It looks something like:
```json5
{
latitude: 51.11,
longitude: 17.02,
/* rest of the file */
}
```
Change the two values to your coordinates. Make sure you leave the commas on the end of the lines.
### Other configuration options
See the [wiki](https://github.com/verarr/synchrono/wiki/Configuration)
## Dependencies
[Custom Time Cycle](https://modrinth.com/mod/customtimecycle) by [eclipseisoffline](https://github.com/eclipseisoffline) is used to make the in-game daylight cycle slow down smoothly.
[YetAnotherConfigLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/yacl) is used for its configuration API and GUI.
## Recommendations for other mods
[Adjusted Phantom Spawns](https://modrinth.com/mod/adjusted-phantom-spawns) with both mods installed, automatically changes phantoms to only spawn after 3 real-life days have passed.
## External API usage
This mod periodically queries some APIs on the internet to retrieve necessary data to function.
* [SunriseSunset.io](https://sunrisesunset.io/) - needed for accurate localized sunrise and sunset timestamps.
* [GeoNames.org](https://geonames.org) - needed for automatically computing the time zone of a location.
* [Open-Meteo.com](https://open-meteo.com) - needed for realtime localized weather updates.
If your server doesn't have access to these, it might crash with the mod installed.
