Help Help with MCPE 0.7.6 Day/Night cycle in Creative Mode (Nostalgia Launcher)
Hey everyone,
I'm currently playing retro Minecraft Pocket Edition version 0.7.6 on a Windows PC using the Nostalgia Launcher. I have a custom flat grass world that I am building a road layout on, and I really want to get a working day and night cycle running while staying in Creative mode.
I want to keep playing specifically on 0.7.6 because I love the nostalgic childhood skybox, fog, and 2D cloud aesthetics from this era.
The problem is that the 0.7.6 engine hard-locks the time clock to midday whenever a world is in Creative mode. I've already tried using an external NBT editor (and the launcher's built-in World Manager) to change the GameType to 0 (Survival) and force the Time tag to 16000 (midnight), but when I try to load the edited world, I get stuck in an instant "You Died!" death loop because the spawn coordinates glitch out on the flat world generation.
Has anyone using Nostalgia Launcher figured out a workaround, an NBT layout edit, or a specific retro mod patch compatibility that unlocks the day/night cycle natively in Creative mode for 0.7.6 without breaking the world or updating the version?
Thanks for any help!
