How to use /tick on Minecraft Bedrock

Source: Dev.to

Overview

Actually, by using a specific hack, you can use the /tick command on Bedrock Edition. This is achieved by setting up a server with plugins and joining it. We will be installing a plugin called trapdoor-ll onto BDS (Bedrock Dedicated Server, the official server software released by Mojang).

What is the tick command?

The /tick command allows you to accelerate, slow down, or freeze time in Minecraft. It is an essential tool for players who need to test mechanics that usually take a long time to run. However, this command is a Java Edition exclusive and does not exist in Bedrock Edition. While you can slow down time using something called Canopy, you cannot speed it up. This article addresses that specific problem: “How can we make this work?”

Limitations

• It cannot be done on the latest version. You must prepare a specific older version of both the server and the client.
• Acceleration beyond 100× is not possible.

Steps to use the tick command on Bedrock

Requirements

• trapdoor-ll plugin
• LiteLoaderBDS
• An older version of BDS (Bedrock Dedicated Server)
• An older version of Minecraft (client)

Downgrading Minecraft is not covered here; you can find guides by searching for “How to downgrade Minecraft Bedrock Edition.”
Linux users should download the Windows version of BDS; it works perfectly using Wine.

Download BDS

The last version supported by the necessary plugins is 1.20.30.02. You can download it from the official site by modifying the URL:

• BDS 1.20.30.2

Download LiteLoaderBDS

LiteLoaderBDS is essentially a mod loader for the server. Download the LiteLoaderBDS.zip file from the latest release (v2.16.2) on GitHub:

• LiteLoaderBDS

Download trapdoor-ll

Download trapdoor-0.42.1-1.20.30.02-5293ed6.zip from the latest GitHub release:

• trapdoor-ll

Installing the Plugins

Installing LiteLoaderBDS

1. Extract LiteLoaderBDS.zip.
2. Move all extracted files into the directory where your BDS files are located.
3. Run PeEditor.exe.
4. Press any key when prompted to complete the process.

Installing trapdoor-ll

1. Extract the trapdoor-ll zip.
2. Inside, you will find a plugins directory.
3. Move the three directories/files found directly inside it into the plugins directory of your BDS folder.

Testing the Acceleration

Starting the Server

Run bedrock_server_mod.exe to start the server. After joining, give yourself OP status to run commands:

/op 

Accelerating Time

Use the command:

/tick acc <factor>

Replace <factor> with the desired acceleration factor (up to 100×).

Shutting Down

Type stop into the server console to safely shut down the server.
