📚 How Tick Conversion Works

🎮 Game Ticks

Minecraft runs at a fixed rate of 20 ticks per second. This is the fundamental unit of time in the game.

Formula:
1 second = 20 game ticks
1 game tick = 0.05 seconds

🔴 Redstone Ticks

Redstone operates on a different timing system. 1 redstone tick = 2 game ticks, making redstone updates slower.

Formula:
1 redstone tick = 2 game ticks
1 redstone tick = 0.1 seconds

⏱️ Real Time

Convert between Minecraft's internal timing and real-world time for precise planning and automation.

Conversions:
1 minute = 1,200 game ticks
1 hour = 72,000 game ticks

💡 Practical Examples

🌱 Crop Growth

Wheat grows every 8 game ticks on average

8 ticks = 0.4 seconds

🔥 Furnace Smelting

Items smelt every 200 game ticks

200 ticks = 10 seconds

🔴 Redstone Repeater

Default delay is 1 redstone tick

1 redstone tick = 2 game ticks = 0.1 seconds

🌙 Day/Night Cycle

Full cycle is 24,000 game ticks

24,000 ticks = 20 minutes
