Time Stop Powers
by adalances
Time Stop Powers is a Fabric magic mod in which absorbed XP becomes energy for abilities, starting with the Time Stop Possession ability for 1.21.1.
What it does
Players absorb experience points and store them as power. The stored power is used to run abilities, the central one being Time Stop Possession, which freezes time around the player so that everything else stands still while the player moves freely. Once enough power is stored, a stronger ability can be used to strike a creature several times, and the freeze ends when time resumes.
Possession lets the player take control of a living creature and see the world from its perspective. The player can also walk off a cliff and stop time in mid-fall, then place an arrow in front of them. The power available for each ability and the amount an ability consumes can be set in the config, as can the cap on stored power, so the balance of the mod is adjustable.
The mod is published for Fabric only, for 1.21.1, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. It is released under the MIT License, but it is not open source.
