powers

What was built

• Added a dedicated server-only Fabric mod (powers) that grants Christopher-style time manipulation to chosen players.
• Core abilities:
  • Time Stop: Freezes living entities, dropped items, and projectiles in a 5-block radius for ~20 seconds, while the caster receives a strong speed/jump boost. Cooldown: 4 minutes.
  • Slow Motion: Creates an 8-block bubble that heavily slows nearby entities and projectiles for ~10 seconds, with a light speed boost to the caster. Cooldown: ~60 seconds.
• Abilities and cooldowns are tracked per player and stored persistently with the world save.

How to use it in-game

• Grant or remove the powers (ops only):
  • /power set player <player> to assign the abilities.
  • /power clear player <player> to revoke them.
• For empowered players:
  • /power timestop to trigger the 20-second freeze (4-minute cooldown).
  • /power slowmo to trigger slow motion (about 10 seconds, 60-second cooldown).
  • /power status to view readiness/remaining durations.

Implementation notes & limitations

• Time stop works by repeatedly locking entity positions/velocities and layering extreme slowness/mining fatigue; motion is suppressed but server ticks still advance.
• Slow motion scales projectile velocity down each tick while applying strong slowness/mining fatigue to nearby mobs/players; it does not change the global tick rate.
• Effects apply in the caster’s current dimension and within the stated radius; distant targets or other dimensions remain unaffected.
