Ever joined a multiplayer server only to find yourself stuck in perpetual darkness? Time Changer Mod puts you back in control by letting you override the server's time of day on your client — no server permissions needed. With a single command, you can lock your world to golden hour, high noon, or any time you prefer. Downloaded over 698,000 times since its 2021 release, this lightweight Fabric mod by Motschen has become a go-to utility for players who want a consistent visual experience across servers.
Key Features
- Client-Side Time Override — Change the visible time of day entirely on your end while playing on multiplayer servers. The server clock keeps ticking normally for everyone else, but your screen shows whatever time you set.
- Server Allowlists & Blocklists — Fine-tune exactly which servers the mod affects using IP-based allowlists and blocklists. This gives you granular control so the time override only kicks in where you want it.
- Simple Command System — Just type
/ctime set <time>in chat to instantly switch your client time. No complicated menus or keybind setups required. - Built-In Config Screen — All settings are accessible through a dedicated config screen, making it easy to adjust preferences without editing files manually.

FAQ
Does Time Changer Mod work in singleplayer?
Not currently. The mod is designed for multiplayer servers only, letting you override the server's time on your client. For singleplayer, you can use Minecraft's built-in /time set command instead.
Will other players see my time change?
No. Time Changer is entirely client-side, so only you see the adjusted time. Other players and the server itself are completely unaffected.
Can I use Time Changer with Quilt instead of Fabric?
Yes. The mod supports both Fabric and Quilt loaders. Just make sure you have the appropriate API dependencies installed for whichever loader you choose.
