The cycle of day and night [Minecraft PE Guides]

This guide is designed for those eager to learn everything about the gameplay. Here, I will discuss the transition between day and night in Minecraft: Pocket Edition.

In Minecraft: Pocket Edition, a full game day lasts 20 real minutes.

The primary and longest phase of the game, which takes up half of the cycle, is daytime. Daytime lasts for 10 real minutes.
Facts:

• The game starts with this period.
• Daytime features the sun and a blue sky during clear weather.
• Light from the day is essential for the growth of grass and trees.
• Skeletons and zombies perish in daylight.

The next phase in the game is sunset. Sunset lasts for 90 seconds.
Facts:

• During this time, the sun sets in the west while the moon rises in the east.
• The sky undergoes a color change.

Following sunset is the night phase, which lasts for 7 minutes.
Facts:

• Hostile mobs spawn at night.
• The moon and stars are visible in the sky.
• The moon goes through phases at night.(8)

The final phase is sunrise, which also lasts for 90 seconds, just like sunset.
Facts:

• The moon sets in the west as the sun rises in the east.
• The sky changes colors again.
• Immediately after sunrise, the moon shifts its phase.

Relationship between game time and real time:

• 1 game hour = 50 real seconds.
• 1 game day = 20 real minutes.
• 1 game week = 2.333 real hours.
• 1 game month = 10 real hours.
• 1 game year = 5 real days.

Relationship between real time and game time:

• 1 real hour of play = 3 game days.
• 1 real day of play = 72 game days.
• 1 real week of play = 1.4 game years.
• 1 real month of play = 6 game years.
• 1 real year of play = 72 game years.
