Questions
Q: Do I need access to cheats to use the watch?
A: The watch will work perfectly fine without cheats.
Q: Will stopping/resuming time using cheats break the Time Watch?
A: The watch toggles based on whether time is stopped or not, so using cheats will not break the watch.
Q: Does this mod work in multiplayer?
A: I haven't tested, but I'd assume so, with the exception of freezing other players.
Q: Can I use your mod in my modpack?
A: Absolutely, as long as you give credit!
Q: Why did you make this mod?
A: I ended up making this mod as a proof of concept, that you could use the tickrate api in more than just commands. I just decided to publish it so others could see how to use the tickrate api as well.
