It had been a normal day on Hermitcraft. No one was doing anything out of the ordinary. Night fell and everyone went to bed.

Doc was the first to wake up. It was dark outside, but it always was at 4 in the morning. He got up and flew over to the shopping district to start working on trapping the Mycelium Resistance base. He much preferred working earlier in the day; people interrupted him less.

A few hours later, Doc finished his Resistance work and headed back to his base. Something felt off but he couldn't tell what it was. He checked his communicator and, as the time flashed in front of him, it clicked. Why the hell was it still dark outside at 10am?

Knowing the others would be getting up soon, he sent a message in the general chat,

|DocM77| Hey X, I think the daylight command is glitched it's the middle of the night but at 10am

|Xisuma| That's odd are any mobs spawning?

|DocM77| Not as many as during a normal night but there has been a few

|Xisuma| Cool, I'll look into it

Xisuma pulled up his admin screens so he could check the server code. The pale blue lit up the area around him as he scrolled through, looking for the daylight cycle command. Once he found it, he realised two things. One, it had glitched to always night. Two, he couldn't change it back. He tried a few more ways to change it or at least make it day but nothing worked. Having ignored a few pings from his communicator, he picked it up now and read,

|BdoubleO100| Why is it night at 11am?

|MumboJumbo| Yea, does anyone know?

|DocM77| X is looking into it. Dunno if he's found anything yet tho

X thought for a moment before he sent,

|Xisuma| The daylight command has glitched to always night, I'm trying to fix it but it won't let me just switch it to back to normal

|Xisuma| We may be stuck in night for a while so watch out for any mobs and don't do anything stupid

|BdoubleO100| oh that makes sense

|DocM77| How long do you think you'll need to fix it?

|Xisuma| I don't know nothing like this has ever happened before

The sound of rockets being fired alerted X to the fact his sibling had turned up, probably to help fix the code. Xanus sat next to him and pulled up their own admin screens. They scrolled back to try and find when exactly the glitch occurred whilst X continued, with no success, trying to change it back to normal.

Meanwhile, the other Hermits just went about doing what they would normally but with the added task of occasionally killing mobs. None of them minded, they knew X and Xan would try their best to fix it.

The Mycelium Resistance were having a meeting. Etho and xB were hanging out. Most of the others were working on their bases or gathering resources. They were all basically trying to not cause any more problems for the two admins.

It had been thirteen hours since Doc had pointed out the issue to X. Most of the other hermits had gone to sleep, but he knew that both X and Xan tended to forget to look after themselves if there was something like this that needed fixing.

Landing in X's base, he soon found the two siblings who looked like they hadn't moved since they started trying to fix the glitch. He wouldn't be surprised if they hadn't even noticed what time it was so he asked,

"Have either of you eaten since you started doing that?"

"Why? It's only been..." Xanus trailed off as they realised that it had been much longer than they thought it had.

"Yea we should probably eat something."

"And you should get some sleep. You're more likely to fix it when you actually understand what you're doing."

"Well I'm gonna go then, make sure X sleeps would ya." Xanus quickly flew off towards his base as Doc somehow managed to convince Xisuma to eat and sleep. Once he knew X was asleep, Doc headed to his own base to try and get some shut eye of his own.

The next morning, the Hermits woke to find that the daylight cycle seemed to have just fixed itself and they were able to go about their day like normal again. For now.
