</>Common questions about Time Bender (Day/Night & Blood Moon)
What does Time Bender do in 7 Days to Die?
Time Bender is a mod for 7 Days to Die that gives you full control over time and the blood moon horde. You can jump straight to a bright, safe midday, skip ahead to night, or freeze the current time so the clock never advances. It also governs horde night: switch on Peaceful Nights and the blood moon never arrives, or press Cancel Tonight's Horde to push the next one far into the future so tonight stays quiet. Because time and the horde are controlled by the game's host, you use Time Bender from the computer that is hosting the session. It is the whole day-night and horde schedule in your hands.
What do the day, night, and Freeze Time controls in Time Bender do?
Time Bender gives you three ways to steer the clock in 7 Days to Die. Set to Day jumps you straight to a bright, safe midday, instantly ending a dangerous night. Set to Night skips ahead to nighttime, handy if you want the dark for atmosphere or to trigger night-specific activity. Freeze Time is a toggle that stops the clock entirely, locking the current time of day in place for as long as it is on, which is perfect for holding a perpetual noon while you build or an eternal night for a screenshot. Turn Freeze Time off and the day-night cycle resumes flowing normally from wherever you left it.
How do I stop blood moon horde nights with Time Bender in 7 Days to Die?
Time Bender gives you two ways to shut down blood moon nights in 7 Days to Die. The first is Peaceful Nights, a toggle that keeps the horde from ever coming: while it is on, the seventh-day blood moon simply never triggers, so you can play indefinitely without a horde night. The second is Cancel Tonight's Horde, a one-press action that pushes the next blood moon far into the future, clearing just the upcoming night while leaving the schedule otherwise intact. Use Peaceful Nights when you want a permanently calm world, or Cancel Tonight's Horde when you only need one quiet evening to finish a build before the hordes resume.
Why do I need to use Time Bender from the host computer in 7 Days to Die?
In 7 Days to Die, the game's host controls the world clock and the blood moon schedule for everyone in the session, so Time Bender has to be used from the hosting computer to take effect. If you are playing solo, your machine is the host, so everything just works. In co-op, the person hosting the game, whether that is a player's machine or a dedicated setup they run, is the one who sets the day, night, freeze, and horde options, and those choices then apply to the whole group. A client joining someone else's game cannot change the shared time or horde from their end, because those values live with the host.
When would I use Time Bender in a 7 Days to Die playthrough?
Time Bender fits any moment you want to set the pace instead of the game setting it in 7 Days to Die. Freeze a safe midday to build, decorate, or explore without racing the sunset. Skip to night for atmosphere, a screenshot, or to line up night-specific plans. Most of all, use the horde controls to protect your evenings: Peaceful Nights for a relaxed, build-focused world with no blood moons at all, or Cancel Tonight's Horde when your base is not ready and you need one quiet night to finish the walls. It is popular with builders, content creators staging shots, and co-op groups who want to enjoy the world on their own schedule.
