op 3Technical

/tick changes how fast the world updates. The default is 20 ticks per second; freeze stops everything except players, and step advances a fixed number of ticks — invaluable for debugging redstone.

Common questions about /tick

›Does freezing stop players moving?

No. Players still move and look around; mobs, redstone, growth and item entities all stop.

›How do I run the game faster rather than slower?

/tick rate takes any value from 1 to 10000, so /tick rate 40 runs at double speed. /tick sprint runs a fixed number of ticks as fast as the server can manage, then returns to normal.
