Minecraft:Commands/time

Changes or queries the Minecraft:world's game Minecraft:time or the time of a Minecraft:world clock.

Usage

There are four types of time involved in this command:

• Gametime - The total number of Minecraft:game ticks that have elapsed in the world.Template:Note
• Daylight cycle time (aka. internal daytime) - The total number of game ticks that have elapsed during the daylight cycle. It does not elapse when the game rule Template:Gmr is false.
• Daytime - The number of game ticks that have elapsed since sunrise on current day. It is the result of dividing the daylight cycle time modulo 24,000.
• Day - The number of days that have elapsed during the daylight cycle. It is the result of floor division by 24,000 of the daylight cycle time.

Template:IN, if the world is frozen by the Template:Cmd command, the four times above do not elapse.

• World clock time - the time the Minecraft:world clock is set to.

/time set ... command Template:In always directly sets the daylight cycle time to the specified number. But Template:In, when Template:Cd is specified, it increases the daylight cycle time to meet the specified Template:Cd.

For example:

Template:In, when executing /time set day or /time set 1000, the daylight cycle time is set to 1000, so the "day" value returns to 0.

Template:IN, when executing /time set 1000, the daylight cycle time is also set to 1000. But, for /time set day, if now the daylight cycle time is 25001 (1 day + 1001 ticks), after executing /time set day, it won't become 1000 or 25000, since it only increases the daylight cycle time when using Template:Cd. In fact, it turns into 49000 (2 days + 1000 ticks), and the "day" value becomes 2. If now the daylight cycle time is 25000 (1 day + 1000 ticks), after executing /time set day, it remains unchanged.

Pauses the specified world clock.

time query gametime

Queries the number of Minecraft:game ticks that have passed in the world.Template:Note

time query time

time of <clock> query time

Queries the number of game ticks that have passed in a <clock>.

time query <timeline> repetition

time of <clock> query <timeline> repetition

Queries the number of repetitions that have passed using <clock>'s timeline <timeline>.

time query <timeline>

time of <clock> query <timeline>

Queries the number of game ticks passed in this repetition of <clock>'s timeline <timeline>.

time resume

time of <clock> resume

Resumes the specified world clock

time set (<time>|<timemarker>)

time of <clock> set (<time>|<timemarker>)

Sets the specified world clock's daylight cycle time to the specified time or time marker (Template:Cd.

• Bedrock Edition

time add <amount: int>

Adds <time> to the daylight cycle time.

time query <daytime|gametime|day>

Queries current time.

time set <amount: int>

time set <time: TimeSpec>

Sets the daylight cycle time.

Arguments

Specifies the time to add or set.

Template:Arg desc

Specifies the time to query. Must be daytime, gametime or day.

Template:El: Template:Code
Template:El: Template:Argument

Specifies the time to set.

Must be one of the following:

• Template:EnvSprite sunrise = 23,000Template:Only
• Template:EnvSprite day = 1,000
• Template:EnvSprite noon = 6,000
• Template:EnvSprite sunset = 12,000Template:Only
• Template:EnvSprite night = 13,000
• Template:EnvSprite midnight = 18,000

Template:El: Template:Argument

Specifies the Minecraft:world clock to operate on. If not specified (Template:Cmd instead of Template:Cmd), defaults to the default world clock of the dimension of execution. Currently, only the Minecraft:Overworld and Minecraft:the End have default world clocks, which are Template:Cd and Template:Cd respectively.

Executing without specifying a world clock in a dimension without a default world clock raises an error.

Must be a namespaced Minecraft:identifier of a registry registered in the Template:Cd Minecraft:registry.

Template:El: Template:Argument

Specifies the time marker to set the time to

Must be a namespaced identifier. Upon execution, the command either attempts to retrieve an unregistered item based on this identifier, or send it to the client for processing.

Template:El: Template:Argument

Specifies the timeline to query.

Must be a namespaced identifier of a registry registered in the Template:Cd registry.

Examples

• To set the daylight cycle time to 1,000: time set 1000
• To add one Minecraft:day to the daylight cycle time: time add 24000
• To change/reset in-game day count to desired number: time set <desired day number*24000+time of day in ticks>; to change day count to day 472 at noon (6000): time set 11334000
