FreezeIt
by LiPolymer
FreezeIt is a NeoForge mod that lets a player freeze block entities so they stop ticking, using a dedicated wand.
What it does
A Tick Wand is the item that controls freezing. Shift and right-click a block entity to freeze it, and repeat the action to unfreeze it. Right-clicking two points selects a region up to 64 blocks across and toggles every allowed block entity inside it in one action. While the wand is held, frozen block entities are marked with a highlight box, so they can be located quickly.
The mod is built with Kotlin and targets 1.21.1 on NeoForge. A config whitelist lists the block entity type IDs that may be frozen, for example minecraft:furnace, and an optional reverse mode inverts the list. Leaving the list empty while reverse mode is off allows every block entity type. The command freezeit reload reloads the config and needs permission level 2. Kotlin for Forge is required and must be installed alongside FreezeIt.
FreezeIt runs on client and server, so both the server and every player need it. The code is available publicly, but the project is not open source: it is released under the PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0.
