Environment Module

Introduction

The Environment module allows for the manipulation of natrual forces in the world, specifically the time and the weather.

Manipulating the Weather

Nucleus has two commands for manipulating the weather, changing it, and locking it.

Changing the weather

The command /weather [world] <weather> [duration] changes the current climate for the specified time. If no world is specified, the current world is used.

The weather may be one of:

  • sun, clear, c for clear weather
  • rain, r for rain/snow
  • storm, thunder, t for a thunderstorm (as well as rain/snow)

The duration may be a number, which will be taken to be in seconds, or of the form of a timespan. This timespan can be limited in main.conf, under environment.maximum-weather-timespan, which can be bypassed using the nucleus.weather.exempt.length permission.

Locking the weather

The command /lockweather [world] [true/false] locks or unlocks the weather to the current climate on the specified (or current) world.

Changing Time

The world time can be seen by simply running the command /time [world]. If the world is not specified, the current world time is displayed.

Setting Time

The world time can be set through the use of the command /time set [world] <time>. The time can be in one of the following formats:

  • Ticks - there are 24000 ticks per day, where 0 ticks is 6am/0600, and 1000 ticks represents an hour.
  • [0-23]h, for 24 hour time (e.g. 12h for midday).
  • [1-12][am|pm], for 12 hour time (e.g. 12pm for midday).

It can also be a predefined keyword:

  • dawn, sunrise: 0 ticks (6 am)
  • day, daytime, morning: 1000 ticks (7 am)
  • noon, afternoon: 6000 ticks (12 pm)
  • dusk, evening, sunset: 12000 ticks (6 pm)
  • night: 14000 ticks (8 pm)
  • midnight: 18000 ticks (12 am)

The following are incompatibilities that may occur with this module, along with how to resolve the problem. For the full mod/plugin incompatibility list, see the compatibility page.

No plugin incompatibilities have been reported.

Locks the weather on the specified world.

Aliases: /lockweather, /killweather

Usage: /lockweather [<world>] [<true|false>]

Default Role: ADMIN

Basic Command Permission: nucleus.lockweather.base

Permissions

  • nucleus.lockweather.base - Default Role: ADMIN
    Allows the user to run the command /lockweather
/time
Module: environment
Gets the time for the specified world.

Aliases: /time

Usage: /time [<world>]

Default Role: USER

Basic Command Permission: nucleus.time.base

Permissions

  • nucleus.time.exempt.cost - Default Role: ADMIN
    Allows the user to bypass the cost for /time
  • nucleus.time.base - Default Role: USER
    Allows the user to run the command /time

This command is similar to the following command(s) found in Essentials: /time

  • nucleus.time.set.exempt.cooldown - Default Role: ADMIN
    Allows the user to bypass the cooldown for /time set
  • nucleus.time.set.exempt.warmup - Default Role: ADMIN
    Allows the user to bypass the warmup for /time set
  • nucleus.time.set.exempt.cost - Default Role: ADMIN
    Allows the user to bypass the cost for /time set

This command is similar to the following command(s) found in Essentials: /time, /day, /night

Essentials Migration Notes: A time MUST be specified.

/weather
Module: environment
Sets the weather on the specified world.

Aliases: /weather

Usage: /weather [<world>] <weather> [<duration>]

Default Role: ADMIN

Basic Command Permission: nucleus.weather.base

Permissions
