The Watch of Time

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Fabric only.

Minecraft 1.21.2–1.21.3Newest
Minecraft 1.21–1.21.1
Minecraft 1.20.4

⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.3 ⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1 ⬇ Download for 1.20.4

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

The Watch of Time

This mod simply adds a new item called the Time Watch which allows you to stop/resume time, thanks to minecraft's new tickrate api.

Questions

Q: Do I need access to cheats to use the watch?
A: The watch will work perfectly fine without cheats.

Q: Will stopping/resuming time using cheats break the Time Watch?
A: The watch toggles based on whether time is stopped or not, so using cheats will not break the watch.

Q: Does this mod work in multiplayer?
A: I haven't tested, but I'd assume so, with the exception of freezing other players.

Q: Can I use your mod in my modpack?
A: Absolutely, as long as you give credit!

Q: Why did you make this mod?
A: I ended up making this mod as a proof of concept, that you could use the tickrate api in more than just commands. I just decided to publish it so others could see how to use the tickrate api as well.
