Minecraft:Commands/time

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

Usage

There are four types of time involved in this command:

• Gametime - The total number of game ticks that have elapsed in the world.
• 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.

in Template:Editions, if the world is frozen by the

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr command, the four times above do not elapse.

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

/time set ... command in Template:Editions always directly sets the daylight cycle time to the specified number. But in Template:Editions, when

1. REDIRECT Template:Code

Template:Redr is specified, it increases the daylight cycle time to meet the specified

1. REDIRECT Template:Code

Template:Redr.

For example:

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

in Template:Editions, 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

1. REDIRECT Template:Code

Template:Redr. 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.

Must be day, night, noon, midnight, sunriseTemplate:Only, or sunsetTemplate:Only.

• day = 1,000
• night = 13,000
• noon = 6,000
• midnight = 18,000

Specifies the world clock to operate on. If not specified (

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr instead of

1. REDIRECT Template:Command

Template:Redr), 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

1. REDIRECT Template:Code

Template:Redr and

1. REDIRECT Template:Code

Template:Redr respectively.

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

Template:Rcat: <timemarker>: resource

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:Rcat: <timeline>: resource

Specifies the timeline to query.
