    By default, cheats are disabled in a Survival world, while they're automatically enabled in a Creative world.

    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.

    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.

    Once the processing is done, the game will change to day.

    How do you make flint and steel?
    Seasalt25
    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.

  • Question
    Can we do this without commands?

    Top Answerer
    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.

    Would sleeping in a bed be the quickest way to set the time to day in MInecraft?

    Top Answerer
    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.
