Rewinder
by TheEpitex
With Rewinder, a Fabric server or single-player world can roll back the last stretch of time, restoring blocks, mobs, items, players and the day-night cycle to earlier frames.
What it does
Rewinder records the complete world state on every server tick into a global frame history. When a rewind starts, the frames are restored backwards one at a time, in an order chosen to keep playback smooth and prevent desync between entities and world changes. The length of the history is set by a custom duration in seconds, which allows long sessions to be covered.
Each subsystem can be turned on or off separately. Block Rewind restores destroyed, placed and modified blocks in reverse order, Mob Rewind returns mobs to earlier positions and states, Projectile Rewind reverses arrows, tridents and snowballs, and Item Rewind moves dropped items back. Player Rewind covers position, inventory, state and actions, and End Crystal Rewind restores destroyed crystals. Time Rewind reverses the sun and moon, so the day-night cycle also runs backwards.
Rewinder is a Fabric mod for client and server, so both the server and every player need it. It has no required dependencies. Files exist for 1.21.10, 1.21.11 and 26.1.2, with 1.21.11 as the latest file, and the code is not open source; the mod is released under All rights reserved.
Key features
Global frame system
Rewind stores the world as synchronized frames, so entities, blocks and world events return to the same moment together.
Selective categories
Each rewind system can be enabled or disabled, so only the chosen parts of the world and its entities are affected.
Live rewind countdown
An optional timer in the action bar shows how much time is left while a reversal is active.
Instant presets
Ready-made rewind configurations can be applied quickly to switch between different setups.
Rewind clock and controller
A crafted Rewind Clock gives access to time manipulation, made from 8 Echo Shards around 1 Clock, and a Rewind Controller item manages it.
