The /time command

Skip to day, jump to night, or freeze the clock wherever you want it.

What it does

/time controls the world clock. Set it to a keyword or an exact tick, or add ticks to fast-forward. Perfect for staging a screenshot in daylight or triggering a spooky night scene.

Syntax

time set <day|night|noon|midnight|sunrise|sunset|ticks>

time add <ticks>

time query <daytime|gametime|day>

set: Jump to a keyword (day, night, noon, midnight, sunrise, sunset) or an exact tick (0-24000).
add: Advance the clock by a number of ticks (20 ticks = 1 second).
query: Read the current time back.

Examples

time set day

Bright daylight (about tick 1000).

time set night

Jump to night.

time add 6000

Fast-forward six in-game hours.
