What Kind of "fun stuff" well That Be (I just want to Know)

Just interesting mechanics, blocks and items that are time-related.

Please can someone help? I keep on trying to press the paradox cube but nothing happens.

You need to put nine in a crafting table to create the Time Machine, which then will allow you to time travel.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to be very active here, I've hit a busy and stressful point in the year. My modeler and texturer has been unable to work for a while due to personal complications, but hopefully he will be back soon! I've also been busy working on my side project, a game I've been developing recently, and hopefully I can share more details later about that when it's more complete. I currently have an item that acts as an XP multiplier and a set of armor that slows down time implemented. I'm working on another set of blocks, but I must wait for the model to be finished before I can test it.

UPDATE: I've implemented a new set of armor and two (three technically, but one is unobtainable) blocks!

Time Armor (For lack of a better name):





This armor will slow any entities within a 3 block radius of the player. Currently doesn't have an implemented crafting recipe, but I'll come up with one soon.

Time Distorter:



This block will generate a temporal field around an area, pulling that zone out of the current timeline and freezing everything currently inside of it in time. This will prevent mobs from moving, entities from falling, TNT from ticking and exploding, redstone from ticking, etc. No crafting recipe yet!

Marker:



This block is what sets the boundaries for where the temporal field will generate. No crafting recipe yet!

To create the temporal field, you need to arrange three Markers and one Time Distorter in a rectangle of any dimensions less than 256x256. Below is an example:



Currently the block is powered by redstone but will be powered by a new fuel source in the future! DO NOTE THAT THESE BLOCKS AND ITEMS ARE NOT IN THE RELEASE VERSION OF THE MOD, AND ARE STILL IN DEVELOPMENT.

Idea: Time Distorter could be powered from bottled paradox.

EDIT: Have you uploaded the version with the armor and Time Distorter? Cuz i can't find the armor nor the Distorter

I have not released a version of the mod with these features implemented.

Geez, the idea kind of reminds me of in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2-3 where you're pulled in the future, and I think time just stops flowing there. An idea for that is to make everything within the temporal field completely greyscale. Do you also plan to update to 1.7.2-10 soon?

I'm not planning on updating soon, I would rather have my mechanics working and stable then update.

Any updates on my problem???

It's a known issue and has been fixed in my development version.

UPDATE: I've implemented the texture for the Time Field!



The mechanic is up and working, I'll post a video about it soon. What other features would you like to see implemented into the mod?

Whoa, this is really turning out into something even cooler than i expected.

I have already created an armor set for the mod, it's just not usable yet.

The poll seems to indicate that most people want an updated version of the mod. After I implement a few more things into the mod, I'll go ahead and update to either 1.7 or 1.8, depending on the stability of Forge for each.

The Time Distorter is meant to be a backup or protection system. For example, if you built a TNT cannon and something went horribly wrong, you can flip a switch to freeze everything in position and defuse the TNT (which is going to be implemented). I'm also planning on working with other mod developers to work on adding their mods to the list of Explodeables (Nukes, anyone?). It could also be useful in creating mob farms and protecting an area from hostile mobs.

Hypothetically I could check to see if the block extends or implements the thing that makes TNT and Creepers explode and do what I would normally do for TNT, but not all mods likely use the same thing. I'm implementing this as a general catch, but if a mod uses a different method to determine explosions then I would need to be contacted about it so I can implement the proper catch and change.

Currently, the Time Distorter does freeze ALL entities, no matter what mod they are from. It just currently doesn't do anything with explode-ables besides TNT.
