Experience the tranquility of single-player farming in a multiplayer setting with theMultiplayer Time Pause Modfor Stardew Valley. This mod brings the much-loved time pausing feature from single-player mode to multiplayer games, allowing you to enjoy every moment without feeling rushed. This mod is a heavily modified fork ofPause Time in Multiplayerthat supports Stardew 1.6. Changes include optimizations and new modes of pausing.
All connected players must have the mod installed for it to work properly.
Behaviour
The default behaviour is that when all players are in some state where time should be paused in single player (for example, fishing, talking, cutscene, inventory), then the time will be stopped in the game. This can be toggled to instead work such that only one player is required to trigger a pause. The mod is compatible with Generic Mod Config Menu.
Notable Features
- Pause monsters in an area without pausing the whole game
- Choose how to pause (any player or all players)
- Ability to allow anyone to force pause
- Menu in game with Generic Mod Config Menu
This mod is in its early stages and may have some bugs. Feel free to report them.
