How do I set the server timezone or time?
There are two very different "times" on a Minecraft server: the in-game world time (day/night) and the machine's clock (used for logs and schedules). Here's how each one works on Humble.
In-game world time
The world's day/night is controlled with commands in the Console or in-game as OP:
/time set dayor/time set night/gamerule doDaylightCycle true|falseto run or freeze the cycle.
The machine clock and timezone
The underlying machine's clock and timezone aren't customer-editable per server. Scheduled tasks run on the panel's time. If a specific plugin needs a particular timezone (for example for events or logging), set the timezone inside that plugin's own config.
Tip: For automatic restarts and other timed jobs, use the Schedules tab, which runs on cron-style timing — see our scheduling guides for details.
Frequently asked questions
Can I set my server to my local timezone? Not at the machine level per server. Schedules run on the panel's time, and individual plugins can be configured with their own timezone where they support it.
Why is my scheduled restart at the "wrong" time? Schedules use the panel's time, not your local clock. Adjust the schedule's cron timing to line up with your local time.
How do I freeze time at day? Run /gamerule doDaylightCycle false after /time set day to keep it permanently daytime.
