At a glance
Works both in the game and on the server — install where you need it
Overview
Small utility mod that allows you to "counterfeit" the system date, for several possible purposes:
- To test or experience festival content without changing the date at system level
- To disable festival content in certain mods by faking a non-festival date
Configuration
The configuration file can be found at config/fakedate.toml:
#Specifies the year to fake (0 = disable)
fakeYear = 0
#Specifies the month to fake (0 = disable, 1 = January, 2 = February, ...)
fakeMonth = 0
#Specifies the day to fake (0 = disable)
fakeDayOfMonth = 0
#Only fake date when queried by specified mods
#Use * to allow any (not recommended)
filter = ["enter_modid_here"]
#When enabled, prints verbose information when faking date
debugFakingDate = true
#When enabled, prints verbose information when not faking date (mod is not in filter)
debugNonFakingDate = trueSide Requirement
This mod does not have strict side requirements. This means it is possible to install the mod on the client-side without it being present on the dedicated server, and vice versa. The date will only be faked for the side(s) with the mod installed.
