Deltatime Mod
Why Is This Important
- This development works best when paired with the World Border Fix modification
- Without the mentioned mod, you'll need to reduce the minimum world border diameter in the datapack itself to prevent accidental world border damage
Counter System and Its Principles
A specialized parameter named "deltatime" handles time measurement:
- tickdelta → previous interval duration (defaults to milliseconds) with a maximum 10-second drift
- tickstoadd → increments in current counter variables that remain consistent during server lag
- accuracy ← determines timing granularity (1000 → milliseconds basis)
- higher precision requires world border diameter adjustments
Practical Use of tickstoadd
Practical application example:
scoreboard players operation untilactionprev objective = untilaction objective
scoreboard players operation untilaction objective -= tickstoadd deltatime
execute if score untilaction objective matches ..20 unless score untilactionprev objective matches ..20 run function my:action1
execute if score untilaction objective matches ..0 unless score untilactionprev objective matches ..0 run function my:action2- In this approach, "function my:action2" activates at target "untilaction objective" range, while "action1" runs one second earlier
- Lag-proof timers increase increments when server performance drops
- Calculations could skip both 0 or 20 thresholds
- Your tracking needs require persistant pre-bonus time records; interpret earliest measure results vs current level difference
Internal Datapack Operations
- Game borders follow real seconds, not cyclical game momentum
- Chronological changes require updating border dimensions over rigid durations
- Each frame compares with instant border position changes for timing verification
