Tick Rate (Block Action Type)

Sets, freezes, steps or resets the tick rate of the chunk containing the block, or of its whole dimension. A slowed chunk runs its block entities, its scheduled block and fluid ticks and its random ticks at that rate, so furnaces smelt, crops grow and hoppers move at whatever fraction of normal speed you ask for.

Type ID: apoli:tick_rate

Fields#

Field	Type	Default	Description
scope	chunk, dimension or server	chunk	Whether the change covers the block’s chunk, the whole dimension, or the server. server drives Minecraft’s own tick rate, exactly as /tick does — see the entity action.
rate	Integer or Expression	unchanged	Logical ticks per second. 20 is normal speed, 0 stops everything.
frozen	Boolean	unchanged	Stops ticking entirely, regardless of rate.
step	Integer or Expression	unchanged	Lets a frozen scope run this many ticks and then freeze again.
sprint	Integer or Expression	unchanged	Runs the scope at full speed for this many ticks, ignoring its rate.
reset	Boolean	false	Clears every override on that scope. Every other field is ignored.
duration	Integer	0	How long the override lasts, in ticks. 0 means until something clears it.

An entity standing in a slowed chunk inherits that rate unless it has one of its own, so freezing a chunk freezes what is standing in it too.

Example#

{
    "type": "apoli:tick_rate",
    "rate": 2,
    "duration": 200
}

Crawls the chunk to a tenth speed for ten seconds.
