Tick speed in Minecraft 1.18 is one of the core features of the sandbox game. Tick is essentially a unit of time in the game and it determines the day and night cycle, the growth of plants, the weather, and even the movement of some mobs. Although the game is set to a particular tick speed by default to make things seamless and natural, players can tinker with the speed through commands to speed up or slow down the events in the game world of Minecraft.
Every second in real life counts for 20 ticks in the game. An in-game day consists of 24000 ticks, translating to 20 minutes in real life. Along with this, there is another core feature called random tick, which determines certain random events happening in the game. Though players cannot directly speed up the ticks, they can tinker with the random tick speed in order to change certain events. Even if the day-night cycle speed doesn’t change, some other events in the game will change.

Commands to increase random tick speed
Before increasing or decreasing the speed of a random tick, players must first ensure that their world allows cheats so that they can type commands in it. Once they are in the world, players can type in this exact command to change the speed: ‘/gamerule randomTickSpeed {value in number}’
