Usage
Time will be frozen at specific locations as defined in the config file. Time will unfreeze by default while swimming, but you can edit edit the config.json file in a text editor to change that (it will appear after you run the game once).
If you want time frozen at a specific location find the name of the location in the locations list in the config file and make the value true. Alternately if you want to enable the passage of time at that location you can set the value to false.
If you wish to have time pass while in the mine with version 1. 9. 1+ just set the location of "UndergroundMine" in the config file to be false.
Config Options
As of the 1. 9 update a lot of work has been done to allow for more flexibility! All locations can be adjusted to whether or not time freezes in that location via the config file. The options for "Mine" and "SkullCave" in the locations table will freeze time in both the entrance and inside both respective mine shafts and are enabled by default.
As of the 1. 5. 0 update,Time Freeze has options to configure when time should freeze in multiplayer. There is the option to freeze time when just one player meets the conditions, majority (which means half as well) of players meet the conditions, or all players meet the conditions. Note that these calculations only check for which farmers are currently online.
