Minecraft /time command

Java EditionBedrock EditionSince Alpha v1.0.16

Quick answer: Changes or queries the world's time of day. Syntax: /time set <day|noon|night|midnight|ticks>

/time set moves the in-game clock to a named moment (day, noon, night, midnight) or an exact tick count. /time add advances the clock, and /time query reads it. One Minecraft day lasts 24,000 ticks - 20 real minutes.
