Life in a Bubble
by ilcheese2
Life in a Bubble lets players build bubbles that control time, entities and block entities inside them.
What it does
Inside a bubble, the tick rate applied to the entities and block entities it holds is changed, so time passes at a different pace there. The mod was created for Modfest 1.21, and each bubble is customized through a block called the Bubble Workshop. Installing it on a server or client requires NeoForge, and the mod is open source under the MIT License, with builds for 1.21 – 1.21.1.
