"twitter:title": "Tick Converter" --- # **Tick Converter** Ticks, seconds, in-game days and the clock in one place. See where a tick falls in the day cycle, whether mobs spawn and whether you can sleep. Ticks Days Hours Minutes Seconds Seconds 300.00 In-game days 0.250 In-game clock 12:00 Tick within the day 6000 At this moment Day Too early to sleep No natural spawning Day cycle6000 / 24000 Day · 0 Sunset · 12000 Night · 13000 Sunrise · 23000 Sleep window · 12542–23459 Presets Rate calculator Enter how many ticks one cycle of a farm or a redstone clock takes, and see how often it fires. Period (ticks) Times per in-game day 20.0 Every 60.00 s ## **Features** ### **The clock starts at dawn** Tick 0 is six in the morning, not midnight. Converting a tick to a clock time without that offset puts every reading six hours out. ### **Sleep and spawning are separate** You can get into bed at 12542, but hostile mobs only start spawning at 13000. Both windows are marked on the cycle bar. ### **Any unit as input** Type ticks, or fill in days, hours, minutes and seconds — everything else recalculates from whichever field you touch. ## **Frequently asked questions** ## **Come say hi** Support, mod recommendations, build feedback and weekend events.
