The square sun is falling towards the horizon, and it's a matter of seconds before you realize you're not going to get back to your base in time. But wait - you can save yourself! You can set the time to day!

  1. By default, cheats are disabled in a Survival world, while they're automatically enabled in a Creative world.
  2. Press the / key, sometimes said to be the ? key. You can also press T and enter in a forward slash manually, but pressing / puts it in automatically.

  3. To set the time to day, type "time set 1" or "time set day". The final command should look like either /time set 1 or /time set day , otherwise the game won't recognize it as a command.
  4. Once the processing is done, the game will change to day.

  • Question
    How do you make flint and steel?

    Top Answerer
    To make a flint and steel, you need an iron ingot and a piece of flint. You can get flint from breaking gravel blocks, and you get iron from mining iron ore and smelting it in a furnace or blast furnace. Once you have those items, open a crafting table or your inventory crafting and place the flint and iron ingot in any space there. The placement does not matter.

    No, it is impossible to change the time in Minecraft manually without using commands or other cheats. Without them, you need to just wait for the time you want.

    Sleeping in a bed would work for setting the time to day. Depending on the time it takes for you to type out the command, it may or may not be the quickest way.
