Relativity
by eth0net
Relativity gives players a staff that controls the flow of time for entities and blocks in the world, and it can be crafted in survival.
What it does
Holding the staff and using it stops time for the targeted area, freezing the movement of entities and the progression of block updates until the effect is ended. Sneaking while using the staff starts time flowing again, so one item covers both directions of the effect.
The staff is craftable, which keeps it available in survival without commands or creative access. Quilt Kotlin Libraries (QKL) and Quilted Fabric API (QFAPI) or Quilt Standard Libraries (QSL) must be installed alongside the mod. The mod runs on the client and on the server, so both sides need it, and the server must run the mod for its time control to apply to play. Builds exist for Quilt on 1.19 – 1.19.2, released under the MIT License as open source, with source code and an issue tracker published.
Key features
Time control staff
A staff that stops time in the targeted area, so entities and block changes hold still while it is active.
Start time with sneak use
Sneaking while using the staff restarts the flow of time, reversing the stop effect without a second item.
Craftable staff
The Relativity staff has a crafting recipe, so it can be obtained in survival without creative mode.
Operator-only servers
On multiplayer servers the mod requires operator permissions, so only operators can rely on the staff's time control.

Use cases
Pausing a build or redstone test

Adventure map puzzles
Map makers can build timing challenges where stopping and restarting time around entities changes the outcome.
Who it’s for: Players who want a time control item for survival or creative play, and server owners willing to grant operator access so the staff works for their players.
