ponder - Legacy
by wuxiaoya
Ponder - Legacy is a Forge mod for 1.12.2 that brings back the ponder system, which shows the reflection and timing of a Create-style structure.
What it does
Ponder - Legacy restores the ponder feature for the Forge loader on Minecraft 1.12.2, the only game version it targets. Its files are published for that version alone, with 1.1.1 as the latest Forge build, dated 2026-07-14 and released on the alpha channel. The mod runs on the client and the server, so both sides need it, and it is released under the MIT License as open source.
