Fast Forward

Introduction

Nobody can stop the pace of time. In this tutorial, though, you will make time go faster than normal.

Add some time

Change the gameplay settings to add 1000 ticks to the current time.

A Minecraft day lasts 24000 ticks for 20 minutes of play. Let’s speed it up by skipping 1000 ticks.

gameplay.time_add(1000)

Try it!

Run the program to test the time warp.

Time isn’t changing? Make sure the “always day” option isn’t turned on.

Add more and more time!

Use a for loop to that loops 12 times to repeat the increase of 1000 ticks.

By adding 12 times x 1000 ticks, we will advance time by 12000… which is half a day in Minecraft!

Run your program

Run the program again. Look, the Sun and the Moon are chasing each other.
