Calculation

Formula and game rule

1 redstone tick = 2 game ticks = 0.1 real seconds at 20 TPS. A repeater can add up to 4 redstone ticks.

Worked example

Example result

10 redstone ticks equal 20 game ticks and 1 real second. Use three repeaters: two at 4 ticks and the final repeater at 2 ticks.

What to check before using the result

Repeater count may need rounding up and a shorter setting on the final repeater.
Server lag changes wall-clock delay when the game runs below 20 ticks per second.
