Time control keybinds
Time control keybinds lets players pause, slow down or resume the in-game clock with keybinds, and the mod's first release targets NeoForge for 1.21.7.
What it does
Time control keybinds binds keys that stop time, slow it down or resume it again, so a player can freeze the day cycle during a build or a fight. The author describes it as a way to keep time from being frozen forever: a stopped clock can always be started again.
The mod is a client and server mod, so the server and every player need it. It is published for NeoForge only, across seven release versions, under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Players install it from modpacks, where the author asks that the modpage link be kept.
Key features
Stop time
A keybind halts the clock so the day and night cycle stops advancing.
Slow time down
A keybind slows the clock instead of stopping it, for a gentler pace.
Resume time
A keybind restarts the clock again after it has been stopped or slowed.
