Time-attendance-terminal mod for Forge 1.18. This mod is a facade for ChronosAPI.
This mod is not yet meant for public usage. It may contain critical bugs.

Philosophy & Motivation

Time-attendance-terminal (TAT) is meant to be used as a time limiter on public / semi-public minecraft servers. It enables every player to have the same progress compared to other players regardless of the time they can and wand to spend playing on a server.

TAT grants a configurable amount of playtime every day to every player. If a player is not able to play, their added time will remain usable for a configurable amount of time, until it depletes.

We, the authors of this mod & api used to play a lot of Minecraft over the years, but we consistently had the trouble, that all players had different pace. Some were a lot faster than others. This meant that the projects quickly became boring for the faster players & those without much time felt left behind. So we decided to start incorporating a daily time limit for our projects. But all the publicly available mods that would allow us to limit playtime weren't configurable & dynamic enough for us, so we started developing our own time-limiting mod.

Features

• Configurable replenishments
  • Online time gets replenished at 0:00 every day
  • The amount of time granted is determined by the configuration
  • Every day of the week can be configured differently
• Slot system
  • The daily granted playtime can stack if not used up
  • Every day a slot is added to the history containing the amount of playtime granted for the day
  • If the slot history overflows (More slots in history than configured), the oldest slots will get removed
  • Configurable amount of slots
  • The available playtime for any user is calculated by the sum of time stored in every slot
• Administrative features
  • Halt & resume your session at any time
  • Halt & resume the global timer This can be used for server events
  • Administrative users can join the server even if their time has depleted
  • Grand & revoke TAT-administrative rights to any player via ingame commands
  • Note: TAT doesn't use any preexisting / installed permission system. It solely relies on an internal permission system. It isn't sufficient to 'just' have OP (any level), the TAT-administrative rights have to be granted regardless'

Commands

All commands are meant to be used ingame. Console functionality might be added in any future update.
