What does this setting do?
Lets players start votes — most often about skipping the night. Three further values govern how a vote runs: its duration, the required turnout and the required share of yes votes.
Voting is a double-edged tool. It gives the community a say and solves the problem that nobody enjoys playing in the dark. At the same time it devalues exactly the settings you chose as an operator — if the night is regularly voted away, nighttime darkness is irrelevant.
Which value suits my server?
Relaxed PvE
On. The community decides about its own evening.
Classic PvP
Off. Night is a tactical asset.
Hardcore
Off.
What to watch out for
A handful of active players is enough
With a low turnout threshold, three players on a server of thirty can change the time of day. If you allow voting, set the required turnout deliberately.
