How Long is a Minecraft Night?

One Minecraft day lasts for 20 minutes. Both day and night are equally divided in the game. To answer the question, one Minecraft Night lasts for 8 minutes and 20 seconds. It starts after the sun sets down, entering dusk mode. Once the night period comes close to ending, players can see the sky turn orangish, and the sun is rising.

Night Minecraft

Unlike daytime, players can skip the nighttime using a bed. Sleeping on the bed resets the timer and players then wake up in the morning. During the night, dangerous mobs spawn almost everywhere in the Overworld. Players will have to either survive for 10 minutes or skip the night by sleeping.
