If I turn /gamerule doDaylightCycle and set it to false while it's day time, will I be able to find a part of the world where it would be night time.
The reason for this is I have multiple vanilla games and I would like one game in the night time setting and one in the day time setting.
At the moment I have one game under the shadow of a block of land to give it he night feel. I'm thinking there is a better way either through commands or other vanilla way.
Using command blocks and some redstone, this can be achieved.
First of all, you need to set /gamerule doDaylightCycle to false, to stop the natural daylight cycle. From here, we are going to use command blocks (/give <username> command_block), some redstone, and the command /time add <number> to control the daylight cycle.
Here is a very simple, and pretty easy to tune setup:
The command on the command block is /time add <number>, tuned however you would like (1 item in the clock with an increment of 5 results in a 28 minute day). There is no hidden redstone, and both pistons are sticky. The hoppers feed into each other, and you choose the number of items put in (more items means slower day/night cycle).
The formula for calculating the length of daytime is 140 * (items / number) minutes of daytime (double that for the length of a whole day).
You're also going to want to use the command /gamerule commandBlockOutput false if you don't want periodic chat updates saying Added 1 to time.
You're also going to want to put this in your spawn chunk if you intend for it to work no matter where you are in the world (determine your spawn chunk by breaking your bed and killing yourself).
If you have optifine, this answer is for you.
I was looking through the Minecraft menu, and I figured it out. Here are the steps to fix it.

No, it's not possible to have day and night at the same time in different areas of a map. The whole minecraft world has the same daylight cycle - not possible.
