Time Systems

Current SkyBlock Time

SkyBlock Time is one of the time systems used on SkyBlock. It is a one-timezone system and is used on Hypixel SkyBlock servers. The time is displayed on the message board on the right when the player is logged onto SkyBlock.

Earth Time, sometime known as Real-life Time, is the date and time system used on Earth. It consists of multiple timezones. For a specific timezone, for example UTC, the time system can be known as "UTC Time".

Hypixel Server Time is the local Earth Time of Hypixel's game servers, which observe Eastern Time. It is another time system used on Hypixel SkyBlock servers.

Time Measurement
Time measurement in SkyBlock is colloquially known as "SkyBlock ", for example "SkyBlock Day". It is different from time measurement on Earth.

Similarly, time measurement on Earth is colloquially known as "Earth ", for example "Earth Day". The measurements of duration in Earth's time system does not differ in different timezones.

Relationship with Earth's Time
Since a SkyBlock Year lasts for 5 Days and 4 Hours, a certain SkyBlock Date can cycle through 6 different Earth Time, each 4 hours apart. This leads to events suitable different timezones at different occurrences.


 * On Main Server
 * The SkyBlock Epoch, time of the beginning of SkyBlock, is defined to be at, which converts to Jun 11, 2019 at 17:55:00 (UTC), or unix time of 1560275700.
 * All SkyBlock days starts at either, or  in Real Life Time. ( represents the minute in Real Life time)

The time system on the Alpha Hypixel Network may vary from that of the Main Server, as detailed in Alpha Hypixel Network.

SkyBlock Time-based Occurrences
Some occurrences in SkyBlock are based on SkyBlock Time. The following are some examples:

Background
Hypixel Server Time is the local Earth Time of Hypixel's game servers. Hypixel Inc. is a Canadian company. Part of the Earth time-based mechanics in SkyBlock is based on this time system.

Timezone
The Hypixel Server Time observes Eastern Time, which:
 * observes Eastern Standard Time normally, 5 hours behind UTC; and
 * observes Eastern Daylight Time during daylight saving in Canada, 4 hours behind UTC.

Some occurrences in SkyBlock are based on Hypixel Server Time. The following are some examples:
 * Fetchur item resets daily at 00:00 AM in Hypixel Server Time
 * Calculation of Kuudra Follower Helmet Donation Cost uses Day of the Year in Hypixel Server Time
 * When Advent Calendar was available, the rewards for each day were made available at 00:00 AM in Hypixel Server Time
