Set tick rate · Too Many Attributes Handbook

too-many-attributes:set_tick_rateentity action

Changes how fast the entity runs: slower, frozen, or faster. Everything it does on its own runs at that speed, like moving, falling, animating, its status effects counting down and its AI. The rest of the world runs normally. /tma tickrate does the same from a command.

Field	Type	Default	Description
`rate`	Integer	optional	Ticks per second. `20` is normal, `10` is half speed, `0` stops it. Up to `100` (5 times as fast) for anything except players.
`frozen`	Boolean	optional	`true` stops the entity until it's set back to `false`. Its `rate` is kept for when it unfreezes.
`step`	Integer	optional	A frozen entity runs this many ticks, then stops again.
`sprint`	Integer	optional	The entity runs at normal speed for this many ticks, then goes back to its `rate` or freeze.
`reset`	Boolean	`false`	`true` puts the entity back to normal. Other fields are ignored.
`duration`	Integer	optional	Ticks until the entity goes back to normal. `0` lasts until reset. Left out: an earlier `duration` keeps running, and a new setting lasts until reset.

Fields left out keep their current setting, so one call can freeze an entity and a later one can step it.
Players can be slowed and frozen, but not sped up. Players aren't kicked for floating while slowed in the air.
A stopped player (frozen, or at rate 0) can't attack, interact with entities, use items, place or break blocks, or let go of a drawn bow. They can still turn their view, open their inventory, chat, drop items and switch hotbar slots. A slowed player can do everything.
Riders without a rate of their own run at their vehicle's speed.
At low rates, slowed entities move in small jumps.
The setting ends when the entity dies or despawns. A player keeps it when changing dimension. A mob that changes dimension becomes a new copy and loses it. Every setting ends when the server restarts.
From Overgrown's Apoli: Overgrown calls this tick_rate. Here it only affects one entity at a time, so there's no scope. Rates above 20 work here. Overgrown's duration is reset by every call, and here a left-out duration keeps the current one.

Example: "Time stop". Hitting an entity freezes it for 5 seconds.

Example: "Slow field". Pressing your primary key makes every mob within 8 blocks run at half speed for 10 seconds.
