Sometimes, you just want your Minecraft world to be taking place in the night. Maybe you think it's prettier than day, or maybe you want to be challenged by endlessly-spawning mobs. Here's how to change the time of day in Minecraft to night!

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Open your Minecraft world.
    Make sure cheats are enabled - by default, they're disabled in Survival worlds, but enabled in Creative worlds.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Open the command line.
    Press /, sometimes read as ?, to open up the Minecraft cheat console. You can also press T and enter in a forward slash manually, but pressing / automatically puts in the slash.

  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Enter the cheat.
    Type "time set 13000" or "time set night". The final command should look like /time set 13000 or /time set night.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Hit Enter.
    Once the processing is done, the game's time will change to night.
    • You can enter the cheat /gamerule doDaylightCycle false to stop time from moving. To disable this cheat, just enter /gamerule doDaylightCycle true and time will begin moving again.
