TickTweak

by MCclip

TickTweak gives server operators and players control over game ticks, with a key that freezes the world and a hold key for slow motion.

FabricServer required, client optionalMIT License1.20.3 – 26.2

What it does

A single key freezes and resumes the world, and a second key held down runs time in slow motion, returning to the previous rate on release. A command steps the game forward by a chosen number of ticks, freezing it automatically afterwards, so a change can be observed one tick at a time. Keys are rebindable under Controls, in the Miscellaneous category. Block placement, item use, the F5 hotbar, inventory and item drops keep responding at normal speed while time is slowed, and block-breaking progress stays at the world's pace because the server advances it.

TickTweak is a Fabric mod published for 1.20.3 – 26.2 with files for the game versions listed on its page. The server needs it to run the tick controls, while players may add it for the same features; a client without it can still join. Fabric Loader and Fabric API are required, and TickSound is required as well; TickSound keeps sound pitch in step with the tick rate. Mod Menu and Cloth Config are optional and add a configuration screen. Versions below 1.20.3 use the vanilla tick system, while builds for 1.20.3 and later rely on the TickRateManager. The code is released under the MIT License and is not open source.

Key features

  1. One-key freeze toggle

    A single key press freezes the world, and the same press resumes it, so pauses can be placed without typing a command.

  2. Hold-to-slow-motion

    Holding a second key slows the tick rate, and releasing it snaps the world back to the previous rate.

  3. One-command tick stepping

    The tickstep command advances the world by an exact number of ticks, such as 10, and then freezes it again.

  4. Responsive interactions

    Placing blocks, using items and opening the inventory keep normal speed during slow motion, so the controls stay usable at low tick rates.

  5. Optional configuration screen

    Mod Menu and Cloth Config add a settings screen, and TickSound keeps sound pitch matched to the tick rate.

What the author says

Control time like a video editor. Freeze with one key, step tick by tick, hold a button for slow motion — and your controls never lag, no matter how slow the world runs. Rebindable under Controls → Key Binds → Miscellaneous.
