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).
