FAQ

What tick value is noon?

Time is measured in ticks, 24000 per day, and /time set 6000 is noon -- not six in the morning. /time set day is 1000 and /time set night is 13000. The named values save you the arithmetic.

What is the difference between daytime, gametime and day?

/time query daytime returns the time within the current day, gametime returns total ticks since the world was created, and day returns the day counter. They answer different questions, so pick the one your logic needs.

How do I freeze the time of day?

Set the time you want, then /gamerule doDaylightCycle false so it stops advancing. Without that gamerule the cycle overrides your /time set immediately.
