Chronoshift

A Time-Bending Item for Hytale

A mythical, ancient clock that manipulates time in dangerous situations.

Features

  • Auto-Activation: Automatically triggers when you take fatal damage.
  • Easy Usage: Right-click to activate or deactivate Chronoshift (toggle).
  • Time Rewind: Saves you from dangerous situations by rewinding time, restoring your health and inventory.
  • Limitations: Due to the game mechanics, I had to make sure duping wasn't possible, so:
    • Chronoshift can be activated from anywhere, but it will only work if it's in your offhand (left bottom slot (1)) when you take fatal damage.
    • When you activate Chronoshift, you can't drop items from your inventory.
    • Just having Chronoshift in your inventory also blocks you from interacting with... basically everything (you still can drop items).
    • You can move items INSIDE your inventory at any time (even while Chronoshift is active).

How to Use

Basic Usage
