A golem fighting a group of mobs, stopped in the middle of the fight.

Projectiles shot at villagers slow down until they stop.

Animated textures and particles slowing down until they freeze.

Rain and snow slowing down, freezing, and then resuming.

Three arrows shot during stasis resume and hit their target.

Don't like where a frozen arrow is going? Hit it. It turns toward where you are looking, keeps its speed, and a line of light shows where it will land.

Redstone actions are replayed in order when time resumes.

A creeper and a TNT block frozen while primed, then resuming.

Opening a chest, using a campfire, playing a disc and eating a cake.

Stopping time was not enough. With a Diamond Paradox or better, you can turn it back.

While time is stopped, the world keeps a record of the last seconds. Press R and it plays backwards, blocks return, explosions undo themselves, mobs walk back and get up, arrows fly back, items return to your inventory, and the sky and weather go back too. When time resumes, it continues from that moment, as if that future never happened.

What goes back in time

• Blocks broken, placed or blown up by anyone, including chests and their contents, signs and pots.
• Mobs: their position and health. Dead mobs come back, including tamed wolves, named mobs and dyed sheep.
• Redstone: levers, dispensers, pistons, lamps and the rest.
• Players: inventory, health, hunger, effects and fire. Other players go back too (can be turned off).
• Projectiles, dropped items, armor stands, item frames, minecarts and boats.
• Time of day and weather (can be turned off).
• Particles, and even the totem animation on your screen.

The Paradox itself is never rewound, so it can't be duplicated or lost to a rewind.

Rewind Charges

Each rewind uses Rewind Charges. One charge holds 20 seconds (configurable), and a Paradox holds up to 4, so 80 seconds in total.

Empty charges can be refilled: right-click them with Temporal Grit in your inventory, like a bundle. Each grit adds 5 seconds.

Death rewind

If you die carrying a Diamond or Netherite Paradox with Rewind Charges and Temporal Grit, time stops at the moment of your death. Choose how many seconds to go back from the death screen, and the death never happened.

You have 60 seconds to choose. If you respawn normally, the chance is gone.

Why stop time when you can see what's coming?

Hold right-click with a Netherite Paradox. Your body stays behind as a checkpoint, while a copy of you move ahead into the future. Use the Paradox again and you return to that checkpoint from the past.

• It uses Rewind Charges: each second in the future costs half a second of charge, so it lasts twice as long as your charge.
• You return to your body when you use the Paradox again, when time runs out, or if you die. If you die, you lose what you found there, and the charges are still spent.
• Other players are not sent back. What they did while you were away is kept.

What you keep

• Blocks you mined, items you picked up, mobs you killed (and what they dropped), and items you threw.
• Changes you made to chests. If a chest was destroyed, it comes back with your changes inside.
• Item frames, armor stands and minecart chests you used.

What goes back

• Mobs, villagers and their trades, angry mobs, explosions, wardens and shriekers.
• Blocks you placed and arrows you shot. Those are used up.
• Your health, hunger, effects and game mode.

Only a Netherite Paradox can use Foresight. Golden and Diamond ones need to be reforged first.

Playing with friends? Choose whether they freeze with the world or move with you.

Each Paradox has its own Share Mode switch: the button on the left of the Control Panel. The setting is saved in the Paradox.

Share Mode OFF

• Only you can move. Everyone else freezes with the world.
• You can still hit them, push them or break the blocks under them. They feel it only when time resumes, all at once and in order, knockback included.
• Frozen players can't move, attack or use anything until time resumes.

Share Mode ON

• Everyone moves with you, in color, while the world stays frozen.
• Your friends can do everything you can: walk, build, break blocks, open chests and shoot. Their redstone actions join the same queue as yours.
• Players can hurt each other right away.
• The world can't hurt anyone yet: fire, lava and falls wait until time resumes.

In both modes

• Only the player who stopped time can rewind it or end it early.
• When you rewind, every player's inventory goes back too, so items can't be duplicated. Their position and health go back as well (can be turned off with RewindAffectsPlayers).
• Servers can force Share Mode on or off for everyone with AffectPlayersOverride. The button on the panel then shows it's locked.

Control Panel

The Paradox Control Panel

---

Sneak + right-click the Paradox to open it. It has two faces:

The stasis face and the rewind face.

• The dial: choose 10s, 20s, 30s or Custom, by clicking or scrolling.
• The 4 sockets on the stasis face hold Temporal Grit, one charge per stasis.
• The 4 sockets on the rewind face hold Rewind Charges.
• The top button flips between the two faces (Diamond and Netherite).
• The crown on the right sets the custom lapse (Netherite).
• The left button turns Share Mode on and off.
• The 4 corner sockets hold Resonators, used to reforge the Paradox to the next tier.
• Apply saves your changes. It becomes Reforge when all 4 Resonators are in place.

Tiers

	Lapses	Grit charges	Rewind	Foresight
Golden	10s	4	No	No
Diamond	10s, 20s, 30s	12	Yes	No
Netherite	10s, 20s, 30s + Custom	40	Yes	Yes

Crafting Recipes

Temporal Grit: Ender Eye + Ender Pearl

Stasis Core: 4 Temporal Grit + Diamond

Paradox: 4 Gold Ingots + 4 Temporal Grit + Stasis Core

Rewind Charge: 4 Copper Ingots + 2 Amethyst Shards + 2 Temporal Grit + Clock

Diamond Resonator: 4 Echo Shards + Diamond

Netherite Resonator: 4 Echo Shards + Netherite Ingot

Reforging your Paradox

• Place 4 Diamond Resonators in the corner sockets of the Control Panel. Apply turns into Reforge, press it (or the Stasis Core) to go from Golden to Diamond.
• Do the same with 4 Netherite Resonators to go from Diamond to Netherite.

Configuration

Everything can be changed in game with Mod Menu, or in config/stasis-paradox.json.

Trails

• TrailsActive: Turns trails on or off.

• TrailsRenderCapes: Shows the player's cape on trails.

• TrailsAmountLimit: Maximum number of trails at once. The oldest fades first. (default 70)

• TrailsGenerationType: How trails are created.

C = Continuous (a trail every X seconds)

S = Seconds (a trail every in-game second)

• TrailsContinuousTimings: Seconds between trails when using C.

• TrailsMidSecondsGeneration: Only for S. Adds a trail every half second.

Worlds you host / servers

• AffectPlayersOverride: none lets each Paradox decide, force_shared forces Share Mode on, force_frozen forces it off.

• CustomLapseMax: Longest custom lapse a player can set, as MM:SS (from 00:01 to 59:59).

• CustomLapseMaxOperators: Same, for operators.

Rewind

• RewindEnabled: Turns rewinding on or off. Foresight also needs it.

• RewindMaxSeconds: How far back a rewind can go, and how much one charge holds. (5 to 60, default 20)

• RewindRadius: How far around each player the world is recorded, in blocks. (16 to 128, default 48)

• RewindTimeAndWeather: Also rewinds the time of day and the weather.

• RewindAffectsPlayers: Also rewinds other players' position and health. Inventories always go back.

Sounds (client only)

• SoundVolume, SoundStasisVolume, SoundRewindVolume, SoundInterfaceVolume: From 0 to 100.

Commands

• /stasis break: ends the current stasis right away (operators).
• /stasis start [seconds]: stops time without a Paradox (operators).

Note: use /stasis break if you set a very long custom lapse.
