Time & Dimension

Time Set​

Sets the map to use a certain time on match load, measured in ticks.

<world>
    <!-- Sets map to midnight -->
    <timeset>18000</timeset>
</world>

Random Time​

World time can be set from one of six possible times at random when a match loads.

<world>
    <randomtime/>
    <!-- 1000, 6000, 12610, 13000, 14000, 18000 -->
    <!-- day   noon  dusk   night         midnight -->
</world>

Time Lock​

Locks the time to a certain time, either from <timeset> or from the world data. Time lock must be specifically turned off if one wishes to have the time cycle. This can also be accomplished with the doDaylightCycle gamerule.

<world>
    <timelock>off</timelock> <!-- Defaults to on -->
</world>
