Example configuration

plugin_time_dilation_cfg.yml

# Which mode should be used for time dilation 
# Available values: 'SunAngle' and 'Time'
# SunAngle is preferred because it works independent of seasons and track latitude
Mode: SunAngle
# Table to map sun angles to time multipliers. SunAngle is the altitude of the sun in degrees. 90° = sun directly overhead, -90° = sun directly underneath
SunAngleLookupTable:
- SunAngle: 6
  TimeMult: 4
- SunAngle: 12
  TimeMult: 8
# Table to map time to time multipliers. For time use format 24-hour format without leading zeros. For example 6:00 or 15:30
TimeLookupTable:
- Time: 4:20
  TimeMult: 6
- Time: 19:00
