    I have never through of that…how is day an night supposed to work on a flat earth? Like Minecraft they just…rotate around? What about the underside of the earth? The other side of the coin…do people live there too? Can we visit them if we dig a hole?

      The sun is apparently more like a flashlight than an orb. That would be the only way this could work, but even Terry Pratchett knew that this doesn’t make any sense

        …wait and how does it become night? Like the lantern gets turn off? What about when it’s night in a place but morning on another?

          It would rotate around, like in the model. Since it’s more like a flashlight there would be no scattering of the light. There would only be day right under the sun. That’s the only way this would make any sense at all, and even then That’s kinda meh
