How to Change Tick Speed in Minecraft
Last updated
Ever wondered how to change the pace of your Minecraft world? You’re not alone! This quick guide will help you understand how to tweak the tick speed in Minecraft.
So, what exactly are we talking about when we say ‘tick speed’? Let’s dive right in and find out how you can adjust the speed at which your Minecraft world updates.
Setting the Scene: What’s a Tick?
In Minecraft, a ‘tick’ is pretty much a beat of the game’s heart. Every tick, the game updates. This includes growing crops, melting ice, and more. The standard tick speed is 20 ticks per second, making the game feel alive and constantly changing.
But what if you want to speed things up or slow them down? Perhaps you want crops to grow faster or slower. This is where changing the tick speed comes into play.
How to Change Tick Speed in Minecraft
Changing the tick speed in Minecraft involves using a game command. You’ll need to have the permissions to use commands in your game, which usually means you need to be in Creative mode or have cheats enabled in your game world.
To change the tick speed, open the chat window by pressing ‘T’ (PC), the right D-pad button (console), or the chat icon (mobile), and type the following command: /gamerule randomTickSpeed . Replace with whatever speed you’d like. Remember, the default is 3, so setting it higher will make things faster, and lower will make them slower.
