Minecraft Tick Formula

Seconds = Ticks / 20

Ticks = Seconds * 20

Where:

• Ticks is the number of game ticks.
• Seconds is the real-world time in seconds.
• 20 is the fixed Minecraft tick rate, meaning the game updates 20 times every second.

Minecraft runs at a fixed rate of 20 ticks per second, so each tick lasts 0.05 seconds (50 milliseconds). To convert ticks into seconds you divide the tick count by 20. To convert seconds into ticks you multiply the seconds by 20. A full in-game day always lasts 24,000 ticks, which equals 20 real minutes at the normal tick rate.

Tick and Time Reference

The table below shows common tick values and their real-world time at the standard rate of 20 ticks per second.

Ticks	Seconds	Real Time
1	0.05	50 milliseconds
20	1	1 second
1,200	60	1 minute
12,000	600	10 minutes
24,000	1,200	1 Minecraft day (20 minutes)

Example Problems

Example 1. You want to know how long 100 ticks lasts. Divide the ticks by 20: 100 / 20 = 5. So 100 ticks equals 5 seconds.

Example 2. You want to know how many ticks are in 30 seconds. Multiply the seconds by 20: 30 * 20 = 600. So 30 seconds equals 600 ticks.
