Ultimate Time Stop v1.8.4 (Forge 1.20.1)

This is a big one: a brand-new Time Prediction mode, two new watch variants (Combat Slow Motion and Self Acceleration), watches you can wear in a Curios slot, and a round of compatibility fixes for popular performance and shader mods. Everything below is new since v1.6.2.

Multiplayer: the server and every player need this version (1.8.3 also works with 1.8.4). Older versions can't join.

What's New

1. Time Prediction (Netherite and Creative watches)

• Slows the world around you and shows what is about to happen: glowing paths for mobs and projectiles, see-through "future" silhouettes of mobs, arrows, tridents and thrown items, and landing rings.
• See skeleton and pillager shots before they are fired, splash and lingering potion areas, and incoming explosions from TNT, creepers and large fireballs.
• See exactly where an Enderman is about to teleport.
• Right-click a slowed arrow to catch it (tipped arrows keep their effect), or hit it to send it back.
• Works with TaCZ bullets too, including aiming previews.

2. Two new watch variants

• Combat Slow Motion (on the Slow Motion card): slows mobs and every projectile, including your own shots, while players, blocks, items and the server keep normal speed.
• Self Acceleration (on the Fast Forward card): speeds up only you. Walking, falling, mining, placing blocks, eating and drinking, bows and shields, attack recharge, cooldowns, effects, hunger, healing, breath, burning and freezing all run at the Fast Forward speed.
• The cards show World · Combat and World · Self. Click a word, scroll, right-click or press the card's number again to switch. Your watch remembers the choice.
• New B key (Switch Time Variant) flips the variant of the watch V uses, without opening the watch.

3. Wear your watch (Curios)

• With Curios installed, put a pocket watch in the new Pocket Watch slot. V activates it, its rune and passive keep working, and J opens the watch screen.

4. New settings (H menu → Visuals & FX)

• Casual acceleration: while you are sped up, harmful things (drowning, burning, freezing, poison, starvation) stay at normal speed; good things still speed up. Your own setting.
• Swim in stopped time: stopped water can be swum through instead of walked on. Server-wide; only the host or an operator can change it.

5. Reworks and quality of life

• Deceleration Field now slows only projectiles (including your own) inside the field, or everywhere in global mode. Players, mobs, TNT and blocks keep normal speed, and fast arrows and TaCZ bullets are caught properly at the field edge.
• Creative Watch radius editor (Shift + Right-Click → Bubble radius): pick any size from 1 to 512 blocks with a slider or by typing it.
• /timestop redirect look and the Vector rune now send projectiles exactly where your crosshair points.
• Mode descriptions now match what each mode really does and show your current speed settings.

Fixes

• Rune of the Tachyon: the 3x mining speed in Slow Motion and Matrix now actually works on Forge.
• Your settings stay yours: joining a server no longer overwrites your own speed and swimming settings. The server's values only apply while you are connected.
• Lithium / Radium: fixed a crash when random-tick optimizations rewrite chunk ticking. Crops and other random ticks still follow time bubbles exactly as before.
