Time is based on ticks, where 20 ticks happen every second. There are 24000 ticks in a day, making Minecraft days exactly 20 minutes long.

The time of day is based on the timestamp modulo 24000. 0 is sunrise, 6000 is noon, 12000 is sunset, and 18000 is midnight.

The default SMP server increments both by 20 every second.

The &#39;Time&#39; is the Age of the world. It is not changing on server commands and will increased by 20 every second.

Note that entity metadata is a totally distinct concept from block metadata.

−
The entity metadata format is quirky dictionary format, where the key and the value's type are packed in a single byte.
 
−
 
 
−
To parse, repeat the following procedure:
 
−
 
 
−
# Read an unsigned byte
 
−
# If this byte == 127, stop reading
 
−
# Decompose the byte. <br> The bottom 5 bits (0x1F) serve as an identifier (key) for the data to follow. <br> The top 3 bits (0xE0) serve as a type.
 
−
# Read and unpack based on the type (below)

Revision as of 00:48, 1 November 2024

This page documents the changes from release 1.21.1 (protocol 767) to the current release (1.21.3, protocol 768). The stable protocol documentation is currently lagging behind, and the changes documented here will be merged soon, once they are complete. The current pre-release (snapshot 24w44a) is not yet documented.

One who wishes to commandeer the merging of this into Protocol when an update is made must be sure to respect any changes that may have occurred to the respective packets there.
