Timewarp

Requires Fabric API. Also compatible with NeoForge, using Sinytra Connector, requires Forgified Fabric API.

Timewarp is a Minecraft mod that brings back classic game mechanics with a fun twist! It adds random challenges with old gameplay and lets you create areas where old-school mechanics can be enabled. Customize everything to bring back the feel of older Minecraft versions.

The mod’s data is saved in the world’s root folder as timewarp_data.json. This includes all configuration settings, timewarp areas, and shift settings, making your Timewarp setup world-specific.

Usage

To set up a Timewarp area:

1. Use the Timewarp Axe to select corners:
   • Left-click on a block to set the first corner.
   • Right-click on a block to set the second corner.
2. Run /timewarp create [name] to create the area using the selected corners. Replace [name] with a custom name for your area, e.g., /timewarp create "Minecraft Alpha".

If you hold the Timewarp Axe, you will visually see areas that are within your render distance.

Old Mechanics

Overview

• allowStacking: Prevents stacking of food items.
• oldMinecart: The player’s head moves according to the minecart's direction.
• oldAnimalBehavior: Sheep, chickens, and cows don’t drop food. Punching sheep drops wool.
• allowSprinting: Toggles whether sprinting is allowed, as in early Minecraft versions.
• versionText: Displays classic version text on the screen.
• oldGUI: Mimics the classic player HUD. Enables the old eating system where food replenishes health directly (no hunger bar) and removes the eating animation.
• noFrontView: Disables the front-facing player view, as in early versions.
• noSneaking: Disables sneaking.
• noSwimming: Disables swimming, as in pre-1.13 versions.
• oldCombat: Reverts combat mechanics to earlier versions, removing the attack cooldown.
• noTrading: Disables trading with villagers.
• oldLook: Uses old textures.
• noSmoothLighting: Disables smooth lighting.
