}}

Controls or queries the [[tick]] status of the game.

==Syntax==
: <code>tick query</code>
:: Outputs the current ticking status and target ticking rate, with information about the tick performance, including average time per tick and [[wikipedia:percentile|percentile]]s of time per tick.
: <code>tick rate &lt;rate&gt;</code>
:: Sets the target ticking rate to the specified value. The default rate is 20.0.
: <code>tick freeze</code>
:: Freezes ticking. All gameplay elements are frozen, except players and any entity a player is riding.
: <code>tick unfreeze</code>
:: Unfreezes ticking.
: <code>tick step [&lt;time&gt;]</code>
:: Unfreezes ticking, runs specified amount of time, and refreezes. Only works if ticking is frozen.
: <code>tick step stop</code>
:: Stops the current stepping process and refreeze the tick.
: <code>tick sprint [&lt;time&gt;]</code>
:: Runs the game as fast as possible for the specified amount of time, ignoring the target ticking rate. At the end of the sprint, the game will resume the previous ticking status and display performance information about the tick times from sprinting.
: <code>tick sprint stop</code>
:: Stops the current tick sprinting and resumes the previous ticking status.
