Final Minecraft features a full calendar system including days, weeks, months, and even years. It also includes Birthsigns that affect various systems.

The initial date of a brand new world is:

Firesday, 1st of Bismarck, Year 1000

It is important to never used the /time set command! Doing so will reset the caldendar back to the initial date. This is default Minecraft behaviour, but may be patched out in a future Final Minecraft update.

The Final Minecraft calendar is a little different from real-time:

• There are 24 hours in a day
• There are 8 days in a week
• There are 4 weeks (32 days) in a month
• There are 12 months in a year
• There are 384 days in a year

Mathematically, it is much simpler than real-time; there are no leap seconds/days/years.

The 8 days of the week represent the 6 Cardinal Elements plus the two Opposing Elements. They are, in order:

• Firesday
• Iceday
• Thundersday
• Windsday
• Watersday
• Earthsday
• Holyday
• Darksday

The powers of the elements shift slightly depending on the day (on Firesday, Fire is strengthened, Water and Ice are weakened).

Holyday and Darksday comprise the weekend.

Months are named after ancient Espers of legend. They are, in order:

• Bismarck
• Kirin
• Eden
• Syldra
• Maduin
• Boco
• Gilgamesh
• Pandemona
• Kujata
• Valefor
• Ixion
• Mog

The initial year is 1000.

Several annual events are planned and noted here:

• New Years Day: 1st of Bismarck
• Xmas Day: 25th of Mog

Each player is given a birthday, based on their internal UUID. This date determines their Birthsign.

In a future version, players will receive a special Gift Block on their birthday (provided enough time has passed since their joinday).

Each player is given a joinday, which is set to the day they first joined the server. In singleplayer, this is always the initial date.

In a future version, players will receive a special Gift Block on their joinday (though not on the actual day the join).

Every player, and mob, has a Birthsign. A birth sign is comprised of two parts: a Zodiac sign, and an Elemental Aspect, determined by a birthday.

The Zodiac sign is determined by the month, and the Element by the day. Zodiac signs are offset by half a month, so a player born on the 15th of Bismarck will be Aeries, whilst one born on the 16th will be Taurus.

The twelve Zodiac signs are:

• Aeries - Mog 16th ~ Bismarck 15th
• Taurus - Bismarck 16th ~ Kirin 15th
• Gemini - Kirin 16th ~ Eden 15th
• Cancer - Eden 16th ~ Syldra 15th
• Leo - Syldra 16th ~ Maduin 15th
• Virgo - Maduin 16th ~ Boco 15th
• Libra - Boco 16th ~ Gilgamesh 15th
• Scorpio - Gilgamesh 16th ~ Pandemona 15th
• Sagittarius - Pandemona 16th ~ Kujata 15th
• Capricorn - Kujata 16th ~ Valefor 15th
• Aquarius - Valefor 16th ~ Ixion 15th
• Pisces - Ixion 16th ~ Mog 15th

Zodiac signs have a slight effect on combat damage, similar to FFT but less pronounced.
