Description
When night comes and you use the gamemode command, the time resets to day.

Expected behavior
Time to stay the same

Screenshots

It's true, happened to me unregulary too, but only on an empty server. 1.14 really needs fixes, it's close to be stable, but Essentials is a major crash factor right now!!

Confirm for me For me: The time resets to day when:
Entering AFK
Existing AFK
Someone Die
Someone Join the server
...

This seems to be the result of a change in CB or Spigot, as there's nothing in EssentialsX that should be changing the time.

@Kongolan Neither Spigot 1.14 nor Paper 1.14 are anywhere near close to working properly yet - not even vanilla 1.14 works properly. EssentialsX is not a "major crash factor" in comparison to the 1.14 server software. Wait for 1.14.1 support and for fixes from Spigot and Paper.

It's been solved in 1.14.1
