Editing Day and Night cycle in dedicated server

Good day everyone, my friends and I are enjoying this game alot. So much even, we decided to rent a dedicated server after 10 hours of playing time.
We all played between 30 and 40 hours in 3 days, and still going strong.
We really want to change the day/night cycle though, 21 minutes daylight feels like 5, and the 9 minutes of night time feels like 3 hours. Is there any way we can dive into the config and edit the durations ?
Thanks in advance Vikings :steamhappy:

Valheimplus also breaks a lot of other mods, you are better of using Azumat's mods instead.

Does Azumat have any solutions for day-night cycle changes?

There's nothing on his list of ValheimPlus replacements[github.com] and I couldn't find anything on a quick check of Thunderstore[valheim.thunderstore.io], so I think you're just out of luck for the time being.

Don't know about messing with game files directly, but there is a mod for that.

There were a few mods that do this, but It looks like all the mods were broken by updates, including Valheim Plus. Valheim Plus included the feature 2 years ago but after it broke they did not get it working again so it was removed from the feature list.

However, you could use valheim plus to do something related. There is a setting which modifies how dark the night-time is. So, you can make it roughly twice as bright.
Heres what the config looks like:

[Brightness]

; Change false to true to enable this section.
enabled=false

; Changes how bright it looks at night. A value between 5 and 10 will result in nearly double in brightness at night.
nightBrightnessMultiplier=0

The cycle will remain the same in time, though. This mod just makes the night less dark so its easier to see. Hopefully somebody else comments with some insight into a currently working solution.

Unfortauntely if you use the Valheim Plus option to make night brighter you would have to install Valheim Plus on your dedicated server and also all of your friends would have to install it. Some people can really struggle with that jajaja
