How Long Is Minecraft Day?

Depending on which Minecraft server you play, day and night will last a different amount of time. The official Minecraft website states that a full Minecraft day/night cycle lasts 20 minutes. However, this is only if you’re playing on an online server. In single player, things may differ somewhat from this. Most notably, if you are playing in peaceful mode, you won't spend any time underground so the day/night cycle will be considerably shorter.

Minecraft has grown to be one of the most developed online games in recent times. The game was released 11 years ago, and it has managed to sell 200 million copies to date. Microsoft has stated that the game has 126 million monthly subscribers. According to the founder Markus Person, Minecraft was a bedroom project, and it was unbelievable that the game attracted the eyes of many gamers once it was uploaded

Daytime

Daytime is the safest time in a Minecraft day. It only lasts for 10 minutes, and during this period, gamers get to explore the player maps. During the day, there is always sunshine, which provides gamers with an optimal view of what is surrounding them, allowing them to explore the environment.

During the day, hostile mobs usually spawn underground, caves, or dark places and not on other surfaces. Sunlight also burns skeletons and Zombies, but they can hide under a tree or in any different overhanging structure. Spiders are not harmful during the day unless they encounter darkness, or they are attacked.

Endermen do not spawn during the daytime and usually teleport back to the end during the day. Early mornings, an Enderman may not have been teleported back to end, but it avoids players even when attacked.

However, there are other hostile mobs like the creepers which are not affected by sunlight, and they remain harmful during the day just like they are at night. Guardians also Spawn during the day in their ocean monuments.

Villagers come out of their houses when it is dawn and go back in the evening. However, if it rains during the day, it may become darker than usual, allowing monsters to spawn. Rain allows skeletons and zombies to survive during the day without them hiding underwater bodies or looking for shelter.

The game also gives you a chance to set a time of the day in case you are not satisfied with the 10 minutes daytime. You can even decide the game to be all day. The following are steps on how to go about it:

1. Go to your Minecraft world and ensure that the cheats are on: In most circumstances, cheats are disabled in the survival world while they are enabled on the creative world.
   
2. Open cheats on the console by pressing / key or?
   
3. At this step, you will be required to type a command, which is ''time set day'' or '' time set 1''. The final command should look like /time set 1 or/time set day.
   
4. Press enter and the game will be processed into the daytime.
   

You can also watch tutorials on YouTube to get tips and hints on how to play Minecraft. You will also learn about what happens during the night when the moon is the source of light. During this period, the light is at level 4, thus very hard to see through. However, it is usually the most appropriate time to harvest products made by hostile mobs.
