Tutorial:Units of measure

This tutorial is designed to compare units of measurement in Minecraft to real life units and to compare different units used in-game.

To convert time in Minecraft to time in real life, simply divide by 72. To do the reverse, multiply by 72. To measure ticks in Minecraft, multiply the real time (seconds) by 20 (this doesn't factor in lag and assumes a constant 20tps).

1 item is the most basic measurement in quantity.
