About
Parabox allows you to set your world into a time loop, effectively locking it in the state that it was when the loop began, and generate prestige points while the loop runs.
The Time Loop
Parabox's time loop is a system where a world checkpoint will be taken, and all changes in the world will then be nullified when the time loop ends.
To begin a time loop, all logged in players will need to vote by clicking a button in the Parabox.
While the Parabox is active, and the time loop is running, the Parabox will consume power every 20 minutes and generate a prestige point. The amount of power needed is 100k FE, and increases by another 100k FE every completed cycle.
Ending the Time Loop
Once the time loop has begun, there are three methods of stopping it.
Collapsing the World: Collapsing the world will reset the world (but not players) back to the original state when the loop began, and grant all players the prestige points that have generated.
Deactivating the Parabox: Deactivation will disable the loop, but will void any generated prestige points.
Power Failure: If the time comes for the parabox to consume power, and it cannot, it will be automatically deactivated.
How do I generate power?
Could you add some screenshots? When there are no images I usually don't download and I'm guessing that's the same for a lot of other people
The "parabox" show an item... what is this random item? Can I have it?
In reply to yamaarashisan:
use hopper to give item, it will decrease loop time by 1 min
Dormammu I've come to bargain
Was the time loop always intended to keep your inventory after the loop when resetting causing duplication or is that a bug?
In reply to XerxezBreak:
It was intentional.
Does this mod not function in multiplayer? Like there can only be one parabox? so everyone has to team in order to use it fairly?
In reply to Blockhead42:
Yes.
What is the item that the parabox asks for? (And how can one insert it?)
In reply to redpandas37:
The parabox doesn't ask for any items, it only asks for power.
In reply to DarkhaxDev:
Well, it does take item as of 2.0.0, but i'm not sure if that's in use yet.
In reply to redpandas37:
It does not ask for anything, other then energy, which would be inserted using a Forge Energy supported cable (Galacticraft, Thermal Dynamics, etc)
In reply to redpandas37:
Just try putting a hopper attached to it with the correct item inside and the parabox will take it. worked for me anyway.
I wish it was possible to whitelist or blacklist dimensions from being reverted. For example, an admin should be allowed to blacklist overworld, which means the parabox resets every dimension back to its original state, except overworld. Or vice versa, he should be able to whitelist nether, so only nether resets. Also, the admin should choose a location in a blacklisted dimension, for player to teleport before a reset.
For example overworld is blacklisted from resetting. Every other dimension resets every 20 minutes. Just before a reset, every player inside other dimensions, get teleported to the overworld, and the other dimensions get reset. Since they are not in the dimension that is being reset, theoretically a game/server restart shouldn't be needed either.
updated to the newest version, what is the "Item" that it asks for and how do i give it to it?
Any reason on my server I have to manually reboot my server when closing a loop?
Server runs on Nitrous
In reply to roblsnead:
Because it closes the server? The server can't restart itself, only an external program can.
In reply to Shadows_Of_Fire:
That is just annoying, I have the mod now removed.
I don't need players stopping the server and complain to have it rebooted, if there is no way to accomplish this.
Thanks for your help!
Is it intentional when playing on a server that all players including ones without a parabox. Gain prestige point's. I have been very careful not to run prestige while other players are online because only myself on the server has it. however all players seem to be gaining points even though they are offline while the parabox is running.
Also running ftblib and utils on sf4. If this is a bug I will post it to git but i wanted to check first.
