Minecraft Time & Weather Commands

Time, Weather, and Gamerule Notes

Minecraft time is measured in ticks, with 24,000 ticks making one full day. Use named presets like day, noon, night, and midnight for quick commands, or enter a custom tick value when you need a specific lighting angle for screenshots, farms, or map scenes.

Weather commands can be temporary or open-ended depending on whether you include a duration. The daylight and weather cycle gamerules are useful for build worlds and servers, but remember to turn them back on if your survival players expect normal day-night and storm behavior.
