How to make a World have Eternal Day in Creative without Mystcraft

[VikeStep]

Hello, I have been making a map that isn't survival and is more about the puzzle and it looks best in day so I made a 3 block contraption that would make it Eternal Day without the use of Mystcraft Symbols.

You need 1 Light Sensor, 1 NOT Gate and 1 Command Block (You can't make this in survival so it has to be spawned in but this tutorial is for a creative world)

Set up the items like this

Spoiler: How to set up the Contraption

How it Works:

Light Sensor: This is a RedPower item that will send a redstone signal whenever it receives enough light. That amount of light is set by opening and closing the shutters on the blue panel, to open and close these shutters grab a screwdriver and Sneak + Right Click the Sensor 3 times.

NOT Gate: This is a RedPower item that will send a redstone signal only if none of its inputs are on. So if the sensor is detecting light, then the NOT Gate will be detecting a signal from the input (Which is the Light Sensor) and won't send a redstone signal to the command block. If the Light Sensor is not detecting light, then the NOT Gate will send a signal to the command block

Command Block: This is a vanilla item that will use a command that you would use in servers in your world when it is powered by redstone. The command you put in here is /time set 0 and when the NOT gate sends a signal it will reset the time to day

Please note, that whenever the Command Blocks changes the time it will put a message in chat saying [@: Set the time to 0] so you can toggle this with /gamerule commandBlockOutput false. Thanks to Memorian for pointing that out

There's always the option in NEI to keep it day forever

Once the redstone update comes, this will be possible without mods as well. You'll just need to use a daylight sensor with a redstone torch inverter.

you can toggle the commandblock spamming of by /gamerule commandBlockOutput false

I never knew that, added in the OP

When you say forever, do you mean manually clicking the button every time it is night or is there an option to just keep it on the same time constantly because I don't believe that NEI has added this option due to machines running off of world time.

It already is, you need villager that has pressure plate in front of house. As soo as nigh starts villagers try to hide at home, steps on pressure plate and command block sets the morning

Its a bit drastic don't you think, plus mine can fit in 3 nice and easy blocks

The NIE thing is usefull enough, but if you plan to give the map out to people, they'll have to enter NIE cheat mode to enable it, and you'll also have to supply them with a guide on how to do so.
I'd vote for the command block option with light detecter and chunk loader as the best option for a custom map

I was replying to the vanilla comment. Sure If you play with redpower or new vanilla snapshot then this is better.

Right-Click on the two night time buttons do disable them. As soon as the sun sets, NEI automatically sets the time to sunrise again.
