time — Wurstmineberg Wiki EditHistory

This article describes the units of time used on our Minecraft time clock.

Ticks

Ticks are the basic interval of time in which things in the Minecraft world change. A second has 20 ticks.

Note: A (game) tick is not to be confused with a redstone tick, which is also called “tick” (when dealing with redstone) but takes two game ticks. See also: the Minecraft Wiki article “Tick”.

Seconds

Seconds, sometimes also called minutes, are as long as real-life seconds. An hour has 50 seconds.

#Hours

One day has 24 hours, each 1000 ticks long. A day starts with the end of sunrise (00:00).

Sunset begins at 12:00 and ends at 13:40, and sunrise starts at 23:10. Sleeping is possible from 12:27 to 23:22.

Days

One month has eight days, mostly named after some of the friendly animals. The night of each weekday has a unique moon phase:

#	Day	named after	Moon
1	Monday	Moon	Full Moon
2	Ducksday	Chicken	Waning Gibbous
3	Cowsday	Cow	Last Quarter
4	Sheepsday	Sheep	Waning Crescent
5	Horseday	Horse	New Moon
6	Squidsday	Squid	Waxing Crescent
7	Caturday	Cat, the meme	First Quarter
8	Pigsday	Pig	Waxing Gibbous

A Minecraft day is 20 real-life minutes long.

Months

One Minecraft year consists of the nine months, sometimes also called weeks. They span eight days, which is equivalent to a full moon cycle, and are named after other mobs:

#	Month	Mob
1	Ironary	Iron Golem
2	Zombiary	Zombie
3	Gharch	Ghast
4	Slimepril	Slime
5	Ocely	Ocelot
6	Magmacubust	Magma Cube
7	Mooshtober	Mooshroom
8	Snowember	Snow Golem
9	Enderember	Enderman

Years

A year, when unaffected by things like lag or players skipping the night by sleeping, is exactly one real-life day long.
