<p>In Minecraft, you have the option to create a Clock by combining 1 Redstone Dust and 4 Gold Ingots. To obtain Gold Ingots, you will need to construct a Furnace and smelt 4 Gold Ore. The Clock serves as a useful tool when navigating underground, as it allows you to determine if it is safe to emerge to the surface. Simply place the Clock in your hot bar to observe the progression of day and night within the game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-do-i-change-the-time-of-day-in-minecraft">How Do I Change the Time of Day in Minecraft?</h2>



<p>By enabling cheats in the settings of your Minecraft world, you have the ability to manipulate the time of day. This can be done by inputting a specific cheat command in the chat window. </p>



<p id="mntl-sc-block_1-0-27">This command sets the in-game clock to dawn (00:00). For noon, replace zero with 6000. Dusk is 12,000, and night is 18,000. Play around with the numbers to change the time in increments.</p>

<p>To ensure your safety during Minecraft nights, it is recommended to construct a house with a bed where you can sleep. Alternatively, you can seek refuge in a cave. However, if you choose not to sleep for three consecutive in-game days (approximately an hour in real-time), hostile creatures known as Phantoms will appear and pursue you during the night. </p>



<p>If you find yourself needing to venture out in the overworld at night, it&#8217;s advisable to carry healing items for protection. Additionally, remember to create torches by combining Coal and a Stick to provide illumination on your path.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-long-are-100-days-in-minecraft-in-real-life">How Long Are 100 Days in Minecraft in Real Life?</h2>



<p>If you want to know how long 100 Minecraft days is in terms of real-world days, you can use a simple formula. Multiply 100 by 20, which gives you the total number of minutes in those 100 Minecraft days (2,000 minutes). </p>



<p>Then, divide that by the number of minutes in a regular day (1,440 minutes) to find your answer. In this case, 100 Minecraft days is equivalent to approximately 1.39 real-world days. You can use this formula to convert Minecraft days to real days:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Real-life days = Minecraft days X 20 ÷ 1,440</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>If you want to calculate the duration of a Minecraft day in terms of hours, you need to multiply the number of minutes in a Minecraft day (1,440) by the number of hours in a day (24), which equals 33.36 hours. So, in order to earn the Passing of Time achievement by playing for 100 Minecraft days, you would need to play for approximately 33.26 hours. </p>



<p>However, it&#8217;s worth mentioning that you can simply play the game normally and you will likely unlock the achievement without specifically aiming for it.</p>
