Tickrate API

Developers call the TickrateUtil class to set a tick rate for an entity. setBaseTickrate changes it permanently and needs to be called only once, while setTickrate changes it temporarily and has to be called again on each tick. Entities with a tick rate set through the library take the highest priority, and the default priority is 1000. Most methods are self-explanatory, so the documented calls can be read directly from the code. The library is inspired by the Tickrate Changer mod by Guichaguri.

Tick rate can also be controlled per area. TickrateTimer objects are created with createDefault or createWithTickrate, and a region is cleared by putting -1 as the tick rate at the same coordinates. Players and server owners can use the in-game command or press F3 and B to show the tick rate areas in the current dimension. Calling a zero tick rate inside LivingTickEvent has no effect, because that event has already fired; the EntityTickEvent is the place to do it, since it also fires for players and entities with a tick rate of 0 are fired with 20.

Tickrate API is required by Youtuber Natural Disasters and Min's Enchantments. Installation covers the server and each player's game. Files are published for Forge and the license is the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, which makes the library open source.
