Day and night cycle in Hytale is quite slow, as the time it takes for a full day to complete is almost an hour in real time. Also, there are quite a few things that can only be done at a specific time of day, meaning you can save players a lot of hassle in the long run if you know all the methods to change the passage of time.
Fortunately, there are ways to speed up the passage of time or even skip whole chunks of the day. This guide covers all methods of changing and skipping time Hytalethe benefits of doing so, as well as step-by-step instructions on how to go about it. Here's how it works.

How to change time of day in Hytale
IN Hytales adventure mode, the only way to change the time of day is through rest in bed at night. Doing so changes the time of day from night to day, saving players from having to deal with the increased difficulty and special mobs that only spawn at night. Players are can only sleep in a bed after 19:30 (in game).
By default, one minute of real time equals 30 minutes of game time, meaning a full day/night cycle takes 48 minutes of real time. This speed can be changed manually when creating a world in Hytale from the Day/Night Cycle drop-down menu.
In order to sleep, players must create a bed or a bed roll. The very first bed that can be made into Hytale is one Raw bed rollwhich can be crafted directly from the inventory with 3 Plant fiber and 2 Light Hide. For subsequent beds, however, players must build a furniture workbench.

How to Skip Time Using Console Commands in Hytale
There are several console commands in the Hytale which allows players to manipulate the passage of time. Some of the most useful ones are:
Console commands only work after players use “/op self” command to give themselves administrative authority over the server.
|
Console command |
Description |
|---|---|
|
/time |
Changes the time of day to the specified hour using the 24-hour format. Only accepts integer values between 0 and 24. |
|
/time break |
Stops the passage of time. Repeating the same command resumes the time. |
|
/time dilation |
Changes the server's time dilation scaling (how fast time passes). The time dilation value must be between 0.01 and 4. The default value is 1. |
|
/time dawn OR /time day |
Sets the time of day to dawn. |
|
/time in the middle of the day OR /time dinner |
Sets the time of day for dinner. |
|
/time dusk OR /time night |
Sets the time of day to evening. |
|
/time midnight |
Sets the time of day to midnight. |
These console commands can be used to powerfully change the time of day to the desired mode. Actions or events dependent on the passage of time are triggered when you do this. Things like crop growth cycles during farming and merchant rollback timers can be manipulated manually with these commands.
