What is TimelessLib and why is it in my mods folder?
TimelessLib is a library mod that other mods rely on for timers, cooldowns, countdowns, scheduled actions and smooth animated movement. It is almost always there because another mod in your setup lists it as a requirement.
Does TimelessLib add any items, blocks or recipes?
No. It only provides time-tracking and animation tools, so there is nothing to craft or place. You see its effects through the mods that use it, such as their cooldowns, timers and eased movement.
Do I need to set anything up after installing TimelessLib?
No. It works in the background as soon as it is in your mods folder alongside the mods that need it. Timer lengths and cooldown values are decided by those mods, so any changes you want would be made in their settings.
Can I delete TimelessLib if I don't remember adding it?
Only if no other mod depends on it. Remove it and launch the game. If something needs it, the launch will stop with an error naming TimelessLib as a missing dependency, and you should put it back.
My game won't launch and says TimelessLib is missing, how do I fix it?
Place TimelessLib in the same mods folder as the mod that asked for it, using the build that matches your Minecraft version and mod loader. Then restart. The error should go away once the requirement is met.
Does TimelessLib go on the client, the server, or both?
Put it wherever the mod that requires it is installed. If that mod has to be on both the server and every player's game, TimelessLib needs to be on both too. Check the requiring mod's own client/server requirements to be sure.
Two of my mods need TimelessLib, do I need two copies?
No. One copy in the mods folder serves every mod that uses it. Duplicate copies can cause conflicts or launch errors, so keep only one.
Do mod cooldowns keep ticking while I'm on the pause menu?
In singleplayer, no. TimelessLib tracks time properly through pauses, so game-time timers and cooldowns freeze when you open the pause menu and pick up where they left off when you resume.
Why didn't my cooldown stop when I paused on a multiplayer server?
A multiplayer server keeps running when you open your menu, so in-game time keeps passing for everyone. This is normal and not a TimelessLib bug. Pause-freezing only applies to singleplayer worlds.
Will TimelessLib cause lag?
It is built to be lightweight and does nothing on its own unless another mod uses its timers, scheduler or animation tools. If you notice lag or stuttery animations, look first at the mods that rely on it or at your overall server and frame-rate performance.
