Quote from GotoLink

Considering that paradox is related to time logic, causes and effects, I would suggest either undoing (most of inventory related paradox) or going to new time states "far" from those that are modified. You go to "far past" or "far future" then close the link with the "paradoxical" times, preventing you from going back.
Going to this "far period" also implies lots of modifications in the overworld that therefore "dilutes" the paradox. These modifications would prevent abuse of this method to lower the level in the paradox bar, because they have a chance to alter buildings and ressources. You may need to sacrifice ressources too, due to the energy required for the "far" time travel.

Eh, I don't really see how this would work very well.

Been following this topic for months. Love it! But a suggestion: You should make it so that if your past self SEES yourself when going into the past, it would make it so that your past self would react accordingly.

That is planned.

hmmm the first idea that came to my mind is to kill your past self to prevent your past self saving his past self from a creeper but then you would still cause a paradox soo then i thought about this: a paradox machine that will slowly lower the paradox bar and i got a idea for the paradoxes what about as the the paradox bar gets higher it makes it more harder to travel through time like example: you try to go back 6 days in the past but end up only three days in the past (i know this is will be hard coding but if you think you can do it then go a head if not just wait till well a while so then i can help with the coding because with my lack of internet it will take a while

Maybe.

"maybe" for which part or parts?

the whole thing.

So ik that you might be away from ur computer around christmas, but have you considered releasing another download (halloween one if not enough progress has been made) before you leave? Just a thought.

EDIT: Another idea, have you considered re-releasing the halloween release but for thanksgiving for a second chance for those who missed it due to reasons that they can not control? ex. Hurricane Sandy.

Also, you said it was the plan for when ur past self sees u it will react accordingly. Any examples of what your past self will do?

I am not releasing it for Thanksgiving. As I have updated the mod, I cannot rerelease the old Halloween version. The past self will try to kill the present self, or other behaviours.

This is a neat concept over all; the only suggestion that I'd make is that when the paradox bar is completely full the future that you came from completely ceases to exist. You could go forward in time again only to find that all of your lovely buildings and changes to the world in fact never happened - basically the universe you came from is on branch 1 of the tree, so to speak, and you're stuck on branch 2 due to excessive paradoxes. Of course it gets complicated if you go back earlier in time to kill your earlier self when you first arrived and before you made all of the paradoxes to fill the paradox bar to begin with. Process-wise this seems like a potentially hard drive-heavy resource hog, but all in all I'm really curious to see what comes of this and will be watching intently.

Eh, maybe, it seems a little too complicated though.

Im a coder, but not for Java, ever time i get eclipse or something else, something goes wrong and I cant do anything in the workbench. But you REALLY should put up a progress download, there is no such thing as a 100% mod, because your just going to keep adding more and more. Also, you started this nearly 7 months ago, dont you think you should give the people that have been waiting to finally see what the mods like? More than likely, allot of people who got a first sight interest forgot about this mod. Because they cant judge it, looks good, sounds good, yet your just a tease to them. I think you should add a download link.

Use adfly then mediafire. Make money while you upload.

I saw the little Halloween thing, but one day? People where at school, came home, ate, then went out then came back and went to bed for the next day.

It took a long time to get the past travel working, which is where the majority of the seven months came from. I'm not putting up a progress download because it's not in a great state most of the time, and I fix it up when i'm about to release. The Halloween version was completely fine; I'm sure people could have put five minutes from their life to download. I know that people were affected by the hurricane, but sometimes you miss stuff and you cannot do anything about it.

Maybe if you use an invisibility potion it would stop the paradox meter increasing for the time being Also this is a really cool mod, i've seen some before but they were just abandoned I can't wait 'til christmass :3

*EDIT*

If you die making a paradox first time you shoul get an Achievement like this:

I like the invisibility idea!

Quote from yotmam12

looks awsome! can't wait 'til it's officialy out!

Thanks! Stay around for Christmas; I may do a release then if I have computer access.

Another question/idea. You have 8 iron and you need to make an iron block. So you go mine 1 more iron and use it to make the block. If you go back in time and mine the iron ore before your past self, then return to the present, would you still have the iron block? Because you just stopped your past self from getting it so they didnt have the ore to make the block.

You would not have the iron block. THis would be slightly hard to code, so what I may do is just have different levels of paradox increase for certain things mined; coal is around 10, iron around 25, diamond around 60, like that.

This was already planned.

I haven't decided about NPC Villages, because they do not expand and the villagers never leave unless exterminated. I am also making another video with more information about the new features.

NEW! I created an update video!

xD Lol! Be sure to watch the new video on the OP and the topic above for new information about the prerelease and mod!

Maybe, but that's not as high of a priority. Currently i'm implementing the paradox bar. I'm basing my time travel mod off of the idea that time is linear, IE that everything you do has an affect, which I am assuming will always cause a paradox, small or large. So basically, you have one timeline, and actions you do change that timeline.
