Day/Night Cycle
The Day/Night Cycle was implemented before the Zombies update in order to create a suitable time for the zombies to attack. The devs decided it would also be a great addition to the other gamemodes so players could pull off ambushes, sneak attacks, etc.
At day visibility is at maximum. Players can see clearly. However as night approaches it becomes darker and darker, and the visibility reduces giving excitement to the game.
Night is the perfect time for players to sneak attack enemy flags. It's the time when zombies come out and start attacking player castles (Zombie Portals spawn zombies at day though). The length of day and night can be configured but generally the duration of a day is longer due to the fact that building takes more time than fighting.
Lighting
The Day/Night Cycle comes hand-in-hand with the new lighting system, added in the same update (build 319).
