Sands of Time

# Sands of Time **Sands of Time** is an addon for the (https://modrinth.com/mod/relics-mod) mod that adds the **Entropic Hourglass**, an ancient relic that lets you bend time itself. Discovered through **archaeology** in desert pyramids and desert wells, this hourglass passively absorbs temporal energy and lets you spend it to accelerate the world around you. --- ## The Entropic Hourglass A curio charm with three powerful abilities that grow stronger as you level up. ### Chrono-Accumulation (Passive) The hourglass passively absorbs temporal energy while sitting in any inventory slot. Your stored time is shown as a HUD overlay and fuels all active abilities. Higher levels mean faster accumulation. ### Temporal Injection (Unlocks at Level 3) Right-click any block to inject temporal energy, accelerating it for **30 seconds**: - **Machines & Tile Entities** — Furnaces smelt faster, hoppers transfer faster, brewing stands brew faster - **Crops & Nature** — Wheat, carrots, saplings, sugar cane, cactus, and any randomly-ticking block grow at incredible speeds - Click the same block to **cycle through speed multipliers** (2x → 4x → 8x → ... up to 512x!) - Maximum speed scales with ability level ### Bio-Overclock (Unlocks at Level 8) Right-click a living entity to overclock its biological processes for **30 seconds**: - Speed up animal growth, mob AI, and entity behavior - Re-click to extend duration or upgrade speed - Requires line of sight — cannot target players --- ## How to Obtain The Entropic Hourglass is found through **archaeology** — brush suspicious sand in: - **Desert Pyramids** (~5% chance) - **Desert Wells** (~5% chance) --- ## Configuration Fully configurable through the in-game Mods menu: - **Block Blacklist** — prevent specific blocks from being accelerated - **Entity Blacklist** — prevent specific entities from being overclocked - **HUD Display Mode** — action bar, top-left overlay, or disabled --- ## License MIT, feel free to include in modpacks! <3
