Place the following in for example /.github/workflows/main.yml:

auto-night-skip: trueKeys can be added directly to your .yml config file or referenced from your project Secrets storage.
Optional: hide you server by adding secrets. To add a secret go to the Settings tab in your project then select Secrets.
I strongly recommend you store your ip and port as a secret, in case you want to hide it.

Automatically skips the night in the Minecraft server if the bot has permissions |
Let the bot automatically skip the night if it has permissions.
To enable this, go to config.json file and change
auto-night-skip from false to true. If you dont want this anymore you could change it back to false.
You can also make an Aternos 24/7 server with this. Just make a template of this repository, then go to Heroku and make an account if you don't have already. Now create an app on Heroku. Then deploy/connect your repository from Github, then deploy branch. Now start your Aternos server, then go back to Heroku. Now go to Resources and refresh the page. Then enable "worker node index.js". Now the bot should join the server. It can cost 5-30 seconds. And now go also on the server, now give it creative and put it in an hole underground with torches. Now enjoy your free 24/7 Aternos server!
