In Minecraft, the safety of day is long but the danger of night is longer. Or is it? How long is a Minecraft day from start to end? It’s definitely not 24 hours, that's far too long, and we’ve all been blown up by Creepers far sooner than 12 hours into our Minecraft world. In reality, a full Minecraft cycle through day and night is just 20 minutes! That explains how the sun seems to go down so fast! It's 72 times faster than a real-life day. A day in Minecraft lasts for only 20 minutes. Since Minecraft’s time is based upon a system of ticks, the passage of 24,000 ticks in-game equates to a day in Minecraft and 20 minutes of real-world time, which means that there are 72 Minecraft days in a single real-world day of 24 hours.
The sun and moon revolve around the player, not the center of the world. In Singleplayer, day and night do not proceed when paused. Background music plays depending on the time of the daylight cycle. How many Minecraft days are in 24 hours? Just as the 72 times longer conversion rate implies, there are 72 whole Minecraft days stuffed into a single real-life day. How long is Minecraft day and night? Day and night are actually equal in length. The day lasts 10 minutes and the night lasts 10 minutes, unlike in real life where the lengths of day and night are uneven and can change. How many real days are 1000 Minecraft days? Whenever your Minecraft world hits this absurd number of days, you will know you have been playing that one world for almost 14 full real-life days, that's over 300 hours! Might be time to go outside and watch the real sunrise for a bit. Or don’t, Minecraft sunrises are just as pretty, even for the 1001st time. Minecraft days are short. Really short. 3 fit in an hour and 72 fit in a whole day! Even with this, the day and night are spread evenly so you’ll get plenty of sunlight over those short 20 minutes. Remember to bring a clock through as just 10 minutes later, it's time to watch your back for Creepers again. |
