Tick Film
by dekvalm
Tick Film lets a server owner or player ease the game's tick rate toward a target value over a chosen duration, using a single command.
What it does
Instead of snapping the game to a new tick rate in one step, the mod moves the target ticks per second gradually across a set transition time. The transition length, the interpolation type and the intensity of the curve can each be set, so a change can start slowly, speed up, or follow a smooth ease. The effect is meant for slow-motion moments and cinematic pacing, where a sudden jump in game speed would be jarring.
The mod is a Fabric mod that depends on Fabric API. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files cover 1.21.1 and 1.21.11, and the latest build is 1.0.1 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-07-01. The mod was first published on 2026-06-15. The code is not open source, and it is released under All rights reserved. Public source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project page.
Key features
Smooth tick rate changes
The game's ticks per second move toward a target value over a set time instead of changing in one jump.
Single command control
One command sets the target tick rate, the transition duration and the easing options.
Selectable interpolation
An interpolation type controls how the speed change is shaped over the transition.
Adjustable ease strength
An ease strength value sets how steep or gentle the curve is during the transition.

Use cases
Slow-motion scenes
Map makers and video creators can slow the world gradually for dramatic moments, then bring it back to normal speed.
Gradual speed-ups
Players can speed the game up over time for a cinematic build or timelapse, rather than switching instantly.
Who it’s for: Players recording cinematic footage, map makers building timed scenes, and server owners who want to change the game speed without abrupt jumps. Both the server and the clients need Fabric API and the mod installed.
