Spawn time is a factor that influences certain aspects of Pixelmon, such as the time when certain Pokémon spawn. It is based on Minecraft's day-night cycle, and is divided into eight different time periods: dawn, morning, day, midday, afternoon, dusk, night, and midnight.
Time periods
Note: tick range refers to Minecraft's internal representation of time. More information can be found on this page.
