Is This an Enhancement to a Preexisting Feature?

• I confirm this request is an enhancement to a feature already in The Aether.

What Is Your Feature Request?

A config option that, when enabled, causes the day/night cycle in the aether to correspond with the day/night cycle in the overworld once eternal day is banished (whether that be through killing a Sun Spirit for the first time or having eternal day disabled in the config as well).

Why Should It Be in the Mod?

For modpacks using Immersive Portal's dimension stacking feature, having a synchronized day/night cycle would help improve the illusion of seamlessness when looking up or down between dimensions, as demonstrated in these screenshots:


Depending how complicated of a feature this is, and how much time and physical capacity I have to dedicate to such a thing, I might be able to make a PR for this feature myself, hopefully?

Does This Feature Improve Compatibility With Another Mod?

Immersive Portals

Please Read and Confirm the Following

• I have confirmed this feature is either in the original Aether mod, or improves parity between The Aether and Minecraft or other mods.
• I have confirmed this suggestion is unique and has not been suggested already.

Yeah unfortunately this is not something I have been able to figure out, I'd be willing to accept a PR but I myself can't figure out a good way to handle this seamlessly due to how Minecraft handles level data and time between dimensions and the methods used for setting such.

If I can figure out a good way to do it I'll make a PR, then.

Thought of a potential solution that I'll have to try.
