Why are the days on the server so short?

Using command blocks and some redstone, this can be achieved.

First of all, you need to set /gamerule doDaylightCycle to false, to stop the natural daylight cycle. From here, we are going to use command blocks (/give <username> command_block), some redstone, and the command /time add <number> to control the daylight cycle.

Here is a very simple, and pretty easy to tune setup:

The command on the command block is /time add <number>, tuned however you would like (1 item in the clock with an increment of 5 results in a 28 minute day). There is no hidden redstone, and both pistons are sticky. The hoppers feed into each other, and you choose the number of items put in (more items means slower day/night cycle).

The formula for calculating the length of daytime is 140 * (items / number) minutes of daytime (double that for the length of a whole day).

You're also going to want to use the command /gamerule commandBlockOutput false if you don't want periodic chat updates saying Added 1 to time.

You're also going to want to put this in your spawn chunk if you intend for it to work no matter where you are in the world (determine your spawn chunk by breaking your bed and killing yourself).
