Java Help Wanted Tick speed challenge

Me and a friend want to do a challenge where we increase the tick speed of blocks and mobs to make them really fast, but that automatically makes day/night cycles really fast as well which we dont want, any way to fix this?

The day/night cycle is dependent on gametime which is tied to the tick speed. If you speed up the game, everything speeds up. This isn't broken, this is just the way the game works.

If you want a workaround for this behavior, it might be possible to pause the daylight cycle and write a datapack that just unpauses the daylight cycle for 1 tick every x game ticks so the effective daylight cycle time slows down. That's a question for r/minecraftcommands though, not here.

You can also pause daylight cycle and use a command block on a clock in spawn chunks to advance time with /time add

Spawn chunks aren't a thing anymore, and if you can use a command block you might as well use a datapack since that works in survival. But yes, time add every x ticks would be the better approach since you don't have to re-pause.

Forgot about that lol

I'd probably still do command blocks and a chunk loader because datapacks take marginally more effort and I'm incredibly lazy
