Summary
If you want to play a cozy game, the last thing on your mind is being timed. Sure, a time limit can make you want to log in and get the most done during each gaming session. Sometimes you just want to relax with a warm cup of tea after a long day.
This means no one is forcing you to go to bed each night, and you can enjoy things at your leisure. You also don’t have missions that constantly nag you to get them done before a specific event expires. So sit back and enjoy the coziest of journeys.

There’s an old saying that goes, ‘Don’t mine at night.’ However, this isn’t really a rule but a suggestion. As long as you come well-prepared with torches and a good set of armor, you can mine to your heart’s content or explore the overworld in Minecraft.
