I want to see someone make a sundial.

lovey.

EDIT: I think by 'countdown' RLCBM means like a clock of some sort.
Why are you so dense?

I'm gonna laugh if rlcbm's computer doesn't support it   :cookieMonster:

Ontopic: cool stuff.

Just a thought, will the Day cycle be that fast as in will the sun and day cycle move that quick.

I would be upset if it did.

Tall Pole.

Red notches on ground.

Shadows on notches indicates time of day.

I have a feeling it will be adjustable.

Back towards the stone age we go!

That's actually a pretty good idea but then the sun needs a non-linear path. Otherwise "sundials" become "sunlines"

Well no.

If the sun didn't travel...

It's hard to explain, damn astrophysics.

It depends on the angle of the sun's path in the sky offset to its path as it would be perpendicular to the ground.  On the Equator on the first day of Spring and Fall, the Sun will travel perpendicular to the ground at exactly noon.

It would be cool if you could set the sun to reflect the real-world time based on the server's computer time.  also perhaps the solstice angle of the sun based on the server's I'p address for realworld latitudes

What are those white lines on the windows of the third build. Reminds me of the minecraft glass.

And what build is the second build?

Correct me if i'm wrong but two builds in this video i've never seen before?

Could this mean new Default Saves for us to enjoy<3?


I hope there will be different types of day/night maps, or that we'll  be able to make different ones. A vibrant bright blue sky wouldn't be too fitting if your build is in a rainforest or something.

I hope not every map is on a forced day/night cycle.

How annoying would it be to start building in the day and then it turns night and you can handle see what you are building.
