Time to Decimal Hours: 1:30:00 → 1.5 hours 2:15:30 → 2.258333 hours 0:45:00 → 0.75 hours Decimal to Time: 1.5 → 1:30:00 2.75 → 2:45:00 0.25 → 0:15:00

Game Ticks (30 ticks/second): Tick Rate: Hytale servers tick at 30 TPS, or 33.33 ms per tick. Minecraft runs at 20 TPS, so Hytale tick counts are 1.5x higher for the same real time. Conversions: 1 second → 30 ticks, 1 minute → 1,800 ticks, 15 minutes → 27,000 ticks. Performance: Dropping below 25 TPS causes noticeable movement rubber-banding. Day-Night Cycle (server configurable): Not a fixed constant: unlike Minecraft's 24,000 ticks per day, Hytale's cycle length is a per-world setting, so there is no single tick count for a Hytale day. Defaults: 600 seconds of daytime and 300 seconds of nighttime, a 15 minute cycle, which is 27,000 ticks at 30 TPS. Where to change it: DaytimeDurationSeconds and NighttimeDurationSeconds under GameplayConfig in /hytale/universe/worlds/ /config.json. Units: both keys are in seconds, not ticks. Time Commands: /time set also accepts the period shortcuts Dawn, Midday, Dusk and Midnight. /time pause freezes the cycle, aliased as stop. /time dilation speeds up or slows down time, defaults to 1.0, and values of 0.01 or below, or above 4.0, are rejected.

Payroll: Convert time sheets (8:30) to decimal hours (8.5) Project Management: Calculate total hours from time logs Programming: Convert between milliseconds and human-readable time Exercise/Sports: Convert workout times to different units Cooking: Convert recipe times between minutes and hours Minecraft: Design redstone circuits, calculate farm timings, plan day-night activities Hytale: Convert server tick counts to real time, size up day-night cycle settings before editing config.json

Time Converter

Convert time between different formats and units. Convert hh:mm:ss to decimal hours, calculate seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and more. Also includes Minecraft-specific conversions: game ticks, redstone ticks, and world time for redstone engineering and automation, plus Hytale game ticks at 30 TPS for server tuning. Works as a minecraft clock calculator for timing day-night cycles.

Time Format Examples

Time to Decimal Hours:

1:30:00 → 1.5 hours
2:15:30 → 2.258333 hours
0:45:00 → 0.75 hours

Decimal to Time:

1.5 → 1:30:00
2.75 → 2:45:00
0.25 → 0:15:00

Unit Conversion Examples

Common Conversions:

72 hours → 3 days
1 day → 24 hours → 86,400 seconds
1 week → 7 days → 168 hours
90 minutes → 1.5 hours → 5,400 seconds

Minecraft Conversions:

20 minutes real time (1 MC day) → 24,000 game ticks
1 second real time → 20 game ticks → 10 redstone ticks
100 game ticks → 5 seconds → 50 redstone ticks
12:00 world time (noon) → 5 minutes elapsed real time
5 minutes real time → 12:00 world time (noon)
18:00 world time (sunset) → 10 minutes elapsed real time
02:00 world time (late night) → 16.67 minutes elapsed real time

Hytale Conversions:

1 second real time → 30 game ticks
100 game ticks → 3.333 seconds
15 minutes real time (default day-night cycle) → 27,000 game ticks
600 seconds (default DaytimeDurationSeconds) → 18,000 game ticks

Minecraft Time System

Game Ticks (20 ticks/second):

Day-Night Cycle: 24,000 ticks = 20 minutes real time
Key Times: Sunrise (0 = 06:00), Morning (1,000 = 07:00), Noon (6,000 = 12:00), Sunset (12,000 = 18:00), Midnight (18,000 = 00:00), Late Night (20,000 = 02:00)
Mob Spawning: Hostile mobs spawn when light level ≤ 7 (around tick 13,000-23,000)
Crop Growth: Most crops have random tick updates every few game ticks

World Time (24-hour format):

Format: HH:MM (e.g., 06:00, 12:30, 18:45)
Day Start: 06:00 = tick 0 (sunrise) = 0 minutes elapsed
Time Mapping: 12:00 (noon) = 5 minutes elapsed, 18:00 (sunset) = 10 minutes elapsed, 00:00 (midnight) = 15 minutes elapsed, 02:00 (late night) = 16.67 minutes elapsed
Real Time: Converts to actual elapsed time since day start (useful for planning)
Input: Accepts both time format (12:00) or direct game ticks (6000)

Redstone Ticks (10 ticks/second):

Redstone Delay: Each redstone component adds 1-2 redstone ticks of delay
Repeater Delay: 1-4 redstone ticks depending on setting
Clock Circuits: Timing based on redstone tick intervals
Piston Speed: Extends/retracts in 1.5 redstone ticks (3 game ticks)

Hytale Time System

Game Ticks (30 ticks/second):

Tick Rate: Hytale servers tick at 30 TPS, or 33.33 ms per tick. Minecraft runs at 20 TPS, so Hytale tick counts are 1.5x higher for the same real time
Conversions: 1 second → 30 ticks, 1 minute → 1,800 ticks, 15 minutes → 27,000 ticks
Performance: Dropping below 25 TPS causes noticeable movement rubber-banding

Day-Night Cycle (server configurable):

Not a fixed constant: unlike Minecraft's 24,000 ticks per day, Hytale's cycle length is a per-world setting, so there is no single tick count for a Hytale day
Defaults: 600 seconds of daytime and 300 seconds of nighttime, a 15 minute cycle, which is 27,000 ticks at 30 TPS
Where to change it: DaytimeDurationSeconds and NighttimeDurationSeconds under GameplayConfig in /hytale/universe/worlds/<world_name>/config.json
Units: both keys are in seconds, not ticks

Time Commands:

/time set <hours>: also accepts the period shortcuts Dawn, Midday, Dusk and Midnight
/time pause: freezes the cycle, aliased as stop
/time dilation <float>: speeds up or slows down time. Defaults to 1.0, and values of 0.01 or below, or above 4.0, are rejected
