Night-through sleeping in single player: 5 days?

    This thread is about sleeping through the whole night in single-player mode. I have some observations about MP too, but I'll use another thread. As it is well known, in SP mode, activating sleeping and waiting, quickly moves you through the whole night to awake at 7:45 of the morning.


    HOWEVER, according to the data in the F3 screen, it is NOT the morning of the next day, but the morning of FIVE days after (for instance, if you start sleeping at 23:00 of 01/01/0001, you do not awake at 07:45 of 02/01/0001, but of 06/01/0001).


    1) Is this intentional?


    2) Does this affect the whole game timing, for instance plant growth? item re-spawn? something else I cannot think of?

    That's really a strange bug, and definitely not intentional. We will have a look at this issue :)
    But since plant growth or spawn/despawn behaviour only depends on realtime, it's not affected by that.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Do you mean that things go on (for instance plants grow) even when the game is not running? Better than I assumed or expected! :thumbup: (Of course, I imagine that things do not really go on, but rather the game will 'catch up' at next restart. isn't it?)

    Hehe, unfortuantely not, sorry for the misunderstanding. They actually depend on realtime, but only while the game is running (of course on multiplayer servers they also grow while you're offline, since most servers are usually always running). Eventually we will consider to change it (so plants also grow in singleplayer while you're offline), originally we just wanted to avoid to make plant regrowth etc. too easy) ;)


    Btw, about the problem with skipping days: Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce this issue 8| Does it only happen when going to bed at evening (i.e. earlier than 0 a.m)? To you play regular singleplayer, or are you eventually running a LAN server (the red button in sp menu)? Do you play in Survival or Creative mode?

    Well, I did some more tests.


    1) When it happens (see below), it happens if starting sleeping before 0:0 AM (it does not happen if starting sleeping at =:01 AM or later)


    2) IT DOES HAPPEN with ONE of my worlds (seed 2950725939522, Time "28.3.0 4:8:0.49202484") in Survival mode.


    3) IT DOES NOT HAPPEN with ANOTHER (same seed, Time "6.1.0 17:12:0.17675006") in Creative (which I did not run for long, as you can see)


    4) IT DOES NOT HAPPEN in another local Survival world I just created (seed 389982143520592, Time "4.1.0 8:0:0.9141446").


    5) I did not try what happens by changing mode while in-game through the console command.


    6) Locally I always use single player mode, never "Open to LAN", so I don't know if this is relevant or not.


    7) It also happens in both servers I tried at some extent. Just for the record, they are "[DK] RisingAge" and "- Mixeland -" (I don't know their seeds; both are running since a while).


    No idea if the seed and / or the game time are relevant, but I kind of suspect game time has a role in this...
