Tick freeze by start

by sir.steven

Tick freeze by start is a Fabric optimization mod that holds the game tick at 0 whenever a new world is opened.

FabricClient and serverMIT License1.21

What it does

The mod keeps the in-game tick stopped at 0 from the moment a world loads, so time does not advance until the player starts it. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric for 1.21 only, with 1.1 as the latest file, under the MIT License, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Tick held at zero

    The game tick is set to 0 on each new world, so the world waits until play begins.

  2. Start on demand

    The tick is started by the player from the game, which gives both sides a shared starting point.

  3. Shared start for groups

    Players joining a multiplayer session together can begin at the same moment without worrying about one player logging in late.
