Hello :) Currently the server responds to the A2S_INFO query with a string of keywords, containing useful information like the server time and whether it is 1PP or 3PP. I'd like to ask if you could extend this list of keywords to also contain the server date. Using this in combination with the server's daytime and nighttime acceleration factors and the map specific sunrise/sunset times, launchers could calculate the amount of time day and night currently take on the server, and display this information to the user. I currently display the day/night length as a graph for the whole 12 months on my launcher (https://launch-z.com/), so the user can get an approximate idea of how short or long days and nights can get. I understand that this request comes out of nowhere, and chances of implementation are low. But this has been crossing my mind and I figured I would just give it a try and put my idea out here. I think this would make for a serious quality of life improvement.
