Goal

Clarify the difference between the time controller and its length modifier in both Minecraft 1.21.1 and 26.3.

Requested naming

  • Rename the player-facing Normal Time page (celestial/normal_time) to Time.

Behavior and documentation

  • Time is the controller/target; the preceding Length page supplies the duration.
  • Retain Number-page overrides and each version's existing timing behavior; this is a naming/clarity change, not a demand to replace either timing backend.
  • Explain that an unmodified Time page defaults to normal length.
  • Update page names/tooltips, creative/JEI presentation where available, writing examples, wiki and relevant guides in both tracks.
  • Prefer retaining internal symbol IDs and semantics so existing authored books remain recognizable. Adjust internal references only where necessary for clarity.

Acceptance checks

  • Both versions display Time page.
  • Time alone uses ful length; Full Length + Time does likewise.
  • Full/Half/Double/Zero Length and Number overrides retain their behavior.
  • Existing books using the retained IDs still resolve correctly.

After some thought on this issue. Normal Time seems the better name for this.
