I rewrited this article for latest version.

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 100x is not possible.

Steps to use the tick command on Bedrock

Requirements

You will need the trapdoor-ll plugin, LiteLoaderBDS, an older version of BDS, and an older version of Minecraft. I will not explain how to downgrade Minecraft; you can find guides by searching for "How to downgrade Minecraft Bedrock Edition." Also, 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, so we will use that. You can easily download older versions of BDS 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

Extract LiteLoaderBDS.zip.

Move all files into the directory where your BDS files are located.

Run PeEditor.exe

Press any key when prompted to complete the process.

Installing trapdoor-ll

Extract the trapdoor-ll zip.

Inside, you will find a plugins directory. 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 the server, you must first give yourself OP status to run commands. Type /op <your_player_name> into the server console.

Accelerating Time

Use the command /tick acc <multiplier> to accelerate time.

Shutting Down

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