Saro's Easy Time
If you have ever found yourself squinting at the Minecraft command bar, trying to remember whether the tick value for noon is 6000 or 60000, you already know the pain that Saro's Easy Time eliminates. This lightweight utility replaces all that mental math with four short, memorable commands. Instead of typing /time set 13000 and hoping for the best, you simply type /night and the world instantly obeys.
The philosophy behind Saro's Easy Time is radical simplicity. There is no configuration file to edit, no GUI to navigate, and no items to manage. You drop a single JAR file into your mods folder, launch the game, and you are done. The mod registers four tiny aliases for the most common times of day and then gets completely out of your way. It is the kind of tool that feels so natural you will wonder why vanilla Minecraft does not ship with it.
Four Commands, Zero Clutter
The entire feature set of Saro's Easy Time fits on a sticky note. Each command snaps the world clock to a specific moment, and the day-night cycle resumes its normal rhythm immediately afterward. This means you can use these commands mid-build without worrying about the sun freezing in place or the moon getting stuck.
/day— Jumps straight to morning, perfect for starting a build session with good lighting./night— Skips to nighttime, ideal for testing light levels or just avoiding a long wait./noon— Sets the sun directly overhead, giving you maximum brightness for screenshots./midnight— Sets deep night, useful for checking how your base looks under the stars.
Because the commands are op-only on every supported version, Saro's Easy Time is completely safe to run on a public server. Regular players cannot abuse the commands, and the server-side execution means the time change syncs to every player simultaneously. Everyone sees the same sky shift at the same moment, which makes it a fantastic tool for server admins who want to host events at specific times.
How to Install Saro's Easy Time for Minecraft
Installation is refreshingly straightforward, and the mod supports all three major loaders. Whether you prefer Forge, NeoForge, or Fabric, the process is nearly identical. For Fabric, you will also need to add Fabric API, but that is the only extra step.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Install the appropriate loader for your Minecraft version. The mod currently supports a wide range, from 1.17.1 all the way through 1.21.11, including the newer 26.1 and 26.2 builds for both Forge and NeoForge.
- Download Saro's Easy Time for Minecraft and place the JAR file into your
modsfolder. Do not extract it; the game handles the JAR natively. - Launch the game, open a world where you have operator permissions, and type
/day. That is it. The command executes instantly, and you are ready to build.
If you are looking for a more streamlined way to manage your mods, the foxygame.net launcher offers a one-click install for Saro's Easy Time, automatically handling the version compatibility checks so you never have to worry about mismatched loaders. The launcher also tracks updates for your installed add-ons, which means you will get notified the moment a new Minecraft version is supported.
Why You Will Use It Every Session
The beauty of Saro's Easy Time is that it solves a problem you did not realize you had. Redstone engineers will appreciate being able to jump to noon for consistent lighting tests. Builders will love starting every session at the golden hour. Screenshot enthusiasts can cycle through all four times in under ten seconds to find the perfect lighting. And if you just want to skip a rainy night without sleeping, /night is your best friend.
The mod leaves the day-night cycle running normally after each command, so there is no risk of breaking game mechanics. Mobs still spawn, crops still grow, and villagers still follow their schedules. The only difference is that you control when those cycles start.
Multiplayer and Server Safety
Server owners often worry about adding mods that introduce exploits or performance issues. Saro's Easy Time is designed with server safety as a priority. The commands are op-only on every version, meaning only players with operator status can execute them. The mod runs entirely server-side, so clients do not need the mod installed to join. This makes it an excellent choice for servers that want time control without forcing every player to download extra files.
For those using the foxygame.net launcher, the built-in add-on catalog lets you browse and install Saro's Easy Time alongside other server-side utilities, with automatic updates keeping everything in sync. It is a convenient way to maintain a modded server without manual file management.
Supported Versions and Loaders
Currently, Saro's Easy Time supports Forge from 1.17.1 through 1.21.11, including the newer 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.2 builds. NeoForge is supported on 26.1, 26.1.1, and 26.2. Fabric covers 1.19.2 through 1.21.5, plus the 26.1 series. The developer welcomes port requests and maintains an active Discord community for feedback and bug reports.
If you are tired of memorizing tick numbers and want a mod that simply works, this is the one. Four commands, one JAR file, and no configuration. That is the entire promise of Saro's Easy Time, and it delivers on every word.
