TimeMagic
by DanirGame
With TimeMagic, a player can freeze the world in place by dropping a clock and take it back to resume time, and the server needs the data pack to do so.
What it does
Holding a regular clock and pressing the drop key tosses the clock into the air, plays a sound, and stops mobs, creepers, zombies, animals and other entities where they stand. Pressing Q again while holding the clock resumes time. The clock is returned to the inventory at the same moment it is dropped, so no item is lost.
The effect is delivered by a data pack that runs only optimized Minecraft commands, so no heavy resource packs are required. The mod is Fabric only, published for 1.21 – 26.1.2 across 15 release versions, and the latest file is 2.0.0 for 26.1.2, released on 2026-06-15. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. The server is required, and the client is optional.
Key features
Freeze on drop
Dropping a held clock stops all nearby entities completely, including creepers, zombies and animals.
Resume with Q
Pressing Q while holding the clock starts time again, using a single button press.
Instant return
The clock is sent straight back to the inventory the moment it is dropped, so the item cannot be lost.
Vanilla friendly
The effect uses ordinary Minecraft commands rather than replacing game code or textures.

Who it’s for: Server owners who want a time-freezing effect on their world, and players on those servers who enjoy a clock-based magic trick.
