Day/night cycle

The signature clock — long 55-minute days, short 5-minute nights, and one-player sleep that grows your crops.

The world runs on its own clock. A full day lasts 55 real minutes and night only 5 — long, generous days for working and building, with brief nights that never overstay their welcome. Here's what shapes the rhythm on Sunday Market.

Sleep

Climb into a Red Bed bed and the night skips to dawn for everyone — one player is enough. No quorum, no coordination; the moment someone lies down, the sky animates forward over a couple of seconds and a "Good morning" goes out to the server.

You can sleep in the daytime too, not just at night. And sleeping does more than skip the clock: your nearby crops grow while you rest. A daytime nap advances the farms around you by many stages — often enough to bring most fields in fully. Set a bed by your farm and a quick lie-down is a harvest.

Sleeping in the overworld also sets your respawn point — do it before any long trip.

Difficulty

The server runs on Normal difficulty:

Mobs and combat use the standard vanilla numbers
Hunger drains you toward half a heart but won't starve you to death
Withers, witches, and the rest behave as vanilla Normal expects

No hardcore, no keep-inventory — items drop on death, but a Recovery Chest catches them for you.

Phantoms

Skip sleep for several nights in a row and phantoms come calling. A bed is the cure — sleep once and the slate is clean.

Beds

Sleep in the overworld to set your respawn point and skip the night
One sleeper is enough, and you can nod off in daylight too
Beds explode in the Nether and End (vanilla rule — still applies)

Surviving the night

Light up and ward your build — mobs spawn in the dark, and a ward keeps other problems out (see Building & claiming)
Died out there? Your inventory waits in a Recovery Chest locked to you — night deaths aren't the end of the world
Carry a bed on expeditions — a respawn point near the work site saves the long walk back
