Chronocraft: Bend Time

⏳ Chronocraft

PLEASE REPORT ANY BUGS BY DROPPING A COMMENT

Rewind the world, stop time, speed up crops and undo your own death.

◀◀ Rewind Watch

Right-click to rewind everything around you by a few seconds: broken blocks, explosions, mobs (even ones you killed), arrows, chests, and your own position, health and inventory.

❚❚ Stasis Hourglass

Freezes everything inside a dome: mobs, arrows, fireballs, lit TNT and creepers, even particles. Arrows you shoot while time is stopped hang in the air, then all strike at once when time resumes.

▶▶ Temporal Accelerator

Instantly grows crops, saplings, sugar cane and kelp in an area, ages copper, and grows up baby animals.

✦ Paradox Totem

Keep it in your inventory. When you take a fatal hit, the world rewinds 10 seconds instead. The Eternal version never breaks; it recharges.

🔮 Tiers

Each tool upgrades twice, using rarer materials.

Materials: all craftable. Chrono Shards also drop from Endermen, and Temporal Crystals turn up in Ancient City and End City loot.

☠ The Curse

Every power you use fills a curse meter beside your hotbar. It never hurts you. It calls the Shattered.

Easing it: stop using powers for a minute, sleep (−40), kill the Shattered, drink a Temporal Anchor (−25) or eat a Reversed Heart (−15). A Mainspring Charm soaks up the next 10. Anchor Lanterns keep the Shattered 12 blocks away; Stilled Lanterns 24.

👁 The Shattered

Most can stop time on you: a ticking that rises means one is about to. Get out of its sight or reach. Badly hurt, they go into a frenzy.

Flickermite. Clockwork beetles in swarms that blink closer. One hit each. Drops Time Splinters.

Stutterling. Jumps forward when you look away. Keep your eyes on it.

Tickhound. A loud tock, then a pounce. Step aside and hit it as it lands.

Sandwraith. Circles, shrieks, dives. Its bite slows you. Hit it as it climbs away.

The Unwound. Cannot move while you watch it, and only strikes at midnight.

The Rewound. Gets back up whole. Hit it again while it lies there.

Paradox Twin. You, three seconds ago, wearing your skin. Never stand still, and when it glitches, turn around.

Stillborn Titan. A frozen explosion. Jump its ring of stopped time; every hit knocks a block off.

⌛ The Bosses

The Unmade Hour. At full curse it pulls you into its arena, a clock face floating at midnight. Break its shards, jump both clock hands, zig-zag through the sand lances and glass needles, fight the pull of the sands, and hit it while it rewinds. Beat it to lift the curse and win Chronium.

The Clockmaker. The final boss, reached with a Stopped Clock at night, in his clockwork workshop. He cuts where you were and where you are going, sweeps a blade around him (jump it), stops time on everyone near him, splits into three (only the real one casts a shadow), throws cogs, and winds the arena back until you break his pendulums. His blade ages you.

🕰 Verge

As you go, a stranger pulls you behind the world’s clock, into the Gearworks. Verge, the Regulator, tells you what the curse is, how to survive it, and finally how to end it for good: the Mended Hourglass.

🛡 Rewards

• Time Master armour: fully 3D clockwork plate, stronger than Netherite. Full set: shorter cooldowns, no slowing, and a near-fatal hit undone.
• Chronophage: the Clockmaker’s scepter. Drains a creature’s years (and the two nearest enemies’), heals you by all it takes, and weak ones crumble. Sneak to use Epoch and age everything around you at once.
• Hourglass Heart: halves all curse you gain.

📖 Bending Time

Every player starts with Bending Time, a clockmaker’s journal with its own screen: every tool, every curse level, how to beat each monster and both bosses, with a picture for each. Lost it? Craft another from a book and a Chrono Shard.
