Calendar & Seasons

A & A Cooking uses a persistent Game Calendar for seasons and long term environmental progression. The calendar is based on Overworld world time and the configured calendar preset.

Preset Behavior
GAMEPLAY 10 days per month, 120 days per year
REALISTIC Real month lengths with Gregorian leap year rules
CUSTOM Every month uses customDaysPerMonth from configuration

The default preset is GAMEPLAY, beginning on March 1, Year 1.

See Configuration for all calendar keys and accepted values.

The calendar tracks:

  • year
  • month and day
  • weekday
  • season
  • day within the season
  • day of year
  • total days in the year
  • world day
  • active preset

The four seasons are:

  1. Spring
  2. Summer
  3. Autumn
  4. Winter

Season boundaries follow the active calendar instead of a fixed 30 day season rule.

/aacooking season reports the season, season day, season length, and world day.

/aacooking calendar reports the full date, weekday, season, season progress, day of year, world day, and preset.

See Commands for the complete command reference.

Every current crop profile has a multiplier for all four seasons. Season is only one part of crop growth; moisture, fertility, light, temperature, humidity, wind, storms, soil temperature, pollination, and vigor also contribute.

See Current Crops and Crop Growth & Vigor.

The Calendar block displays the current calendar in the world and can be placed on the side of a solid support block. It offers a decorative alternative to the calendar command.
