A Hardcore-Surreal mod that transforms the concept of death in Minecraft. Instead of a traditional respawn, you are "Rewound" to your last safe moment. But this temporal safety comes with a heavy price: every time you cheat death, a piece of your vitality is consumed. Your maximum health will slowly dwindle until there is nothing left to sacrifice.
Key Features
- ⏳ Safe Rewind System: Automatically snapshots your state (inventory, XP, effects) when in safe areas. Upon death, you are instantly transported back to that point in time.
- 💔 The Price of Time: Each rewind permanently reduces your maximum health by 1 heart (2 HP). The more you fail, the more fragile you become.
- 🌫️ Dynamic Desaturation: As your health drops, the world literally loses its color. A custom post-processing shader drains the saturation, making the world look "bland" and "pale" to reflect your character's fading life.
- ⛈️ Divine Finality (Game Over): When you lose your last heart and die, a dramatic lightning bolt strikes your location, signaling the true end of your journey. You are then permanently shifted into Spectator mode.
- 🕊️ Sacrifice for Atonement: Regain your lost hearts by sacrificing a Totem of Undying. Right-clicking a Totem will consume it and restore 1 lost heart, giving you a second chance to fight the cycle.
- 📜 Voices of Despair (i18n): Features a randomized "Sad Reminiscence" message system. Upon rewinding, you'll receive melancholic messages like "The pain... it never fades" or "Is this a gift, or a curse?" (Supports both English and Thai).
- 🛠️ Admin Tools: Includes OP commands for server management: /timerewind reset to restore all hearts and /timerewind save to force a manual snapshot.
