The mod revolves around "Stolen Moments", used to influence time in strange ways. It is intended for use in Skyblock maps, as a way to provide access to resources not otherwise available.
Stolen Moments are obtained by killing mobs. There are at least 3 tiers: Simple Moments, Moments, and Complex moments.
Simple moments drop from: Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, and Slimes, and Endermen.
Moments drop from: Endermen, Zombie Pigmen, Blazes, Magma Cubes, and Wither Skeletons.
Complex Moments drop from: Ghasts, The Wither, and the Ender Dragon.
All transforms/displacements are configurable in the configuration file, as well as adding new ones, and removing old ones.
(There is a short video explanation made by me at https://youtu.be/g1l6MMfN4LY)
Basic Moments:
Basic moments are crafted from Saplings.
They can transform 3 wood into Petrified Wood by right clicking on the wood in the world.
Used to craft Displacer.
Uses for Simple Moments:
Right click on Wood, and it will be converted to Petrified Wood. up to 8 touching blocks for a simple moment, 32 for a Moment, and all touching wood for a Complex Moment, this destroys the Moment.
Petrified wood is ore-dicted with cobble stone.
Chrono-Displacer: When placed in the world, a Chrono Displacer can be fed with Moments. During operation, nearby blocks will be converted into blocks from alternate time streams. This allows the production of resources otherwise not available. The tier of the displacer determines which blocks are affected, and the possible end results.
Tier 1:

Crafting a simple moment with a bucket will give you a bucket of water.
Uses for Moments:
Chrono-Displacer: Teir two is crafted by a Moment, surrouned by 8 Simple Moments. The resulting item is then used on a tier 1 Chrono-Displacer placed in world to upgrade it to tier 2. A tier 2 Displacer retains all available tier 1 transformations, and adds the following:

Shift right clicking a mob with a moment will absorb that mob into the moment, so that you may relocate it. Right clicking with a Mob containing moment releases the mob, and destroys the moment.

uses for Complex Moments:
Chrono-Displacer: Tier three is crafted by a Complex Moment, surrounded by 8 Moments. The resulting item is then used on a tier 2 Chrono-Displacer placed in world to upgrade it to tier 3. A tier 3 Displacer retains all available tier 2 and tier 1 transformations, and adds the following:
Tier 3
Input Possible Result

A Complex Moment can be used to convert an Enderman into a villager, in the same manner as other mob conversions. It can also convert a Squid into a guardian.
If you construct a 4x4 flat ring of End Stone, and right click any one of them with a Complex Moment, an end portal will be generated inside.
You are free to use this in any modpack you might wish. I would request that you notify me, but do not require it.
