Did You Unpause?
by SkyeNova_
Did You Unpause? is a small Fabric companion mod for Flashback that nags the player when a recording is still paused.
What it does
The mod watches Flashback's recorder and the player's actions. When a recording is paused while the player keeps playing, it shows a title screen message, plays an anvil-landing sound and posts a chat reminder. The reminder text is randomized and draws from a rotating pool of insults, plus one-off lines, and a puns option adds more. Breaking or placing blocks, moving, looking around and throwing items all count as playing, so the reminder fires the moment recording pauses unpauses.
The player can click Snooze in chat to quiet the reminder for a few minutes, or choose Disable Until Unpause, which asks for confirmation and turns it off until the next unpause. The mod can be switched off entirely, its re-nag frequency and snooze length can be changed, and an Auto-Unpause mode can be set so that it quietly resumes the recording and sends a friendly heads-up instead.
The mod runs on the client only, so servers do not need it. It requires Fabric API and Flashback, and Mod Menu is optional. Files target Minecraft 1.21.9 – 26.3, released under the Apache License 2.0 as open source.

You paused your Flashback recording to go do something else. You came back. You forgot to unpause it. Now there's a ten minute hole in your footage and you didn't notice until you went to export. Did You Unpause? watches Flashback's recorder and makes sure that never happens again.
