How long is a Minecraft day?


Minecraft has a very simple day-night cycle that determines the passage of time in the game. Time can be complicated for a new player and that’s why we make it simple!
Time in Minecraft is accurate 72 times faster than time in the real world. This means that the daylight cycle in the video game is approximately one 20 minute cycle. After 20 minutes, the sun sets and dusk begins, followed by night.
1 second in real time is approximately 1 minute and 12 seconds in Minecraft. This gives us 20 minutes of real time for an entire day. Likewise, a full week of gameplay only lasts 2.3 hours in real time.
Time of day
Minecraft The start of the day is marked by the cloudy sun rising in the east of the world and the sky becoming increasingly blue. During this time, many monsters will start to burn from exposure to sunlight and will not attack players.
Sunset/dusk


The sky gradually darkens, slowly turning orange and red before the sun sets completely, leaving the sky in complete darkness and with a white moon.
Night


At night, the sky is completely black with the moon and stars. The light level in the world reaches 4 and mobs begin to spawn. Players should be careful with their resources during this time.
Rise/dawn


During this time, the moon slowly sets in the west and the sun begins to rise in the east. The sky gradually becomes lighter and bluer.
