Timewarp
Requires Fabric API. Also compatible with NeoForge, using Sinytra Connector, requires Forgified Fabric API.
Timewarp is a Minecraft mod that brings back classic game mechanics with a fun twist! It adds random challenges with old gameplay and lets you create areas where old-school mechanics can be enabled. Customize everything to bring back the feel of older Minecraft versions.
The mod’s data is saved in the world’s root folder as timewarp_data.json
. This includes all configuration settings, timewarp areas, and shift settings, making your Timewarp setup world-specific.
Usage
To set up a Timewarp area:
- Use the Timewarp Axe to select corners:
- Left-click on a block to set the first corner.
- Right-click on a block to set the second corner.
- Run
/timewarp create [name]
to create the area using the selected corners. Replace[name]
with a custom name for your area, e.g.,/timewarp create "Minecraft Alpha"
.
If you hold the Timewarp Axe, you will visually see areas that are within your render distance.
