Before when spawning in a new world generation, you would spawn into the "day" time.
I had created a new creative world, default world type, and spawned into the "night" time. I tried to use /time set to change the time to day, but it didn't change. The moon would reload to rising, but it never changed to the sun. I let the game go for a while and over the usual 10-20 minutes it still hasn't changed from "night" to "day"
Thank you for your report.
However, your ticket has been resolved as invalid.
This ticket relates to a modified or 3rd party client, server, or launcher.
Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
This site is for addressing issues related to the base unmodded Minecraft; Bukkit/Spigot, Forge, Optifine, modded servers such as The Hive, Overcast, Showbot, Hypixel or any other modded system invalidates your ticket, unless the behavior can be reproduced in Vanilla.
Additionally, if you have problems on large-scale modded servers, please report it to their site. It's probably not a bug in Vanilla Minecraft.
:info: If you are able to reproduce your issue in a vanilla environment, feel free to create a new ticket.
