Talk:Tick

Tick inconsistency
Article Mob spawner declares that the tick concerning spawning mechanics is 1/20 seconds, whereas this article uses the term tick for a 1/10 second period. I think something should be changed, anyone has any ideas on the subject? | TheKax |  Talk   15:45, 7 August 2011 (UTC)


 * A 5-clock ticks on once per second, so 5 ticks on and 5 off, totaling at 10 ticks in a second. Unless there's a new definition of a tick, I'd say to change Mob Spawner. Purtip31 23:54, 8 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Well actually... there is the game definition of a tick. That definition is used by both redstone and mob spawning and almost any other in-game check. A true tick takes 1/20th of a second, and each "redstone tick" is in-fact two true game ticks. This is unfortunately very confusing and I should probably go and edit the page. *sulks off, muttering*. Also, because the tick governs more than just redstone, though it is most noticeable in that application, it should not be merged with redstone circuits just yet.  | Akyute |  02:38, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
