Preface
Last night, I got my HP computer back after it had lost it's GPU. Luckily it was under warranty, but unfortunatley the computer was totaled. However, the kind Indians personell in the HP repair shops took my old hard drive out and put it into a brand new computer for me, so I wouldn't lose any files. What they didn't do, was change the date and time back. While playing around on my computer, I noticed that, strangely, my Zune account wouldn't sign in and Windows update wouldn't work. When I looked at error details, I found that it could be caused by incorrect time/date. Lo and behold, my computer was in the year 2008.
The Actual Actions
I changed the date to the current one, by two years, and then went back to Minecraft, at which point time went at a ridiculous pace I stood and watched the world turn. When I advanced the year by two, about 2/5ths a day went by in the space of 30 seconds. Way more than usual zombies, Skeletons and Creepers spawned, followed by hordes of farm animals, so many to the point where it almost crashed my computer. Trees grew before my eyes, and the sun sped across the sky, as clouds careened through the heavens. It was awe inspiring.

Testing
I replicated this by advancing the year by 2 more, into 2012. The same effects happened. Feeling daring, I advanced it by ten years, at which point Minecraft promptly killed itself due to time-warp side-effects. Also curious, I turned the clock backwards while minecraft was running. The first time, minecraft died again. The second time, it remained functional.
I just thought that this was an interesting find, and could hold some purposes to the people who really need them.

i sense a trololo here.
There is a mob spawn limit. ur awar f this right?
This is not trololo, and beleive me, this bypasses it. I just advanced time by 4 years, and I saw about 8 skeletons, 7 zombies, 4 spiders, and 5 creepers, combined with the various farm animals.
What seems to be happening is that minecraft goes into a super speed to attempt to bring the internal "clock" in sync with the system clock, for some reason.
The game runs on its own time as far as i know.
I dont think changing your internal clock will affect gameplay time at all, that feature is only in animal crossing...and it works backwards as well...
Two people isnt good enough evidence when neither has achieved very many posts.

You are now reading this. You just lost the game.
You have just read this. You are also manually breathing.

High-fives are a renewable resource, so there shall definitely be more.
Didn't change anything. However, when I did change my date settings while MC was open it crashed.
Edit: it works when you leave minecraft open, you just have to wait for it to respond. Don't try exploring, you run faster than it can generate the world lol.
Have you tested it? Cuz from what ive played in the game, daytime in that is like 10 minutes( if i recall a full day and night here on earth is 24 hours), same as night. how could it in anyway be connected to your computers clock?
I just dont see a logical s'planation to it.
Back this up with video evidence or i will never believe this.

Depends on how long you change your date by. Also, you should give minecraft a while after changing teh date for it to grasp it's new soroundings. And like I said, sometimes Minecraft just ups and dies.

I still dont believe you.

now two people have said it works, and there has been a logical potential reason posted. what more do you want?
Oh yes, it is MANY hax.
