Time in a bottle Curio Support in Project Infinity 0.1

Time in a bottle Curio Support is part of the mod list in this pack. The pack ships version 1.20.1-2.0.2 of it, in the file curiotiab-1.20.1-2.0.2.jar.^[1]

It has been in the pack for a while: it was first included in pack version 0.0.45.4 or earlier, so it isn't a recent addition.^[1]

Unverified The sources I have for this mod don't describe its features or behaviour, and there is no in-jar guidebook to draw on, so this overview doesn't go into what it does in detail. Check the mod's own pages or test it in a world before relying on any specific mechanic.

This mod adds Curio support for Time in a Bottle, and the only material I can confirm for this pack is the mod's own text. That text covers key bindings and a small overlay config screen, so your first steps are about setting up controls and your on-screen overlay.^[2]

Set up your controls

Open your controls menu and look for the category called "Time in a bottle Curio support". That is where the mod's key bindings live, so you can set them before you need them.^[2]

• Use TIAB: the key for using Time in a Bottle through the Curio support.^[2]
• Toggle TIAB overlay: shows or hides the TIAB overlay on your screen.^[2]

Place your overlay

The mod has its own config screen, called "Curio TIAB config screen". On it you click and drag to move the overlay around, so you can put it somewhere that doesn't block your view.^[2]

1. Click and drag the overlay to where you want it.^[2]
2. Press Shift + S to save your overlay settings.^[2]
3. If you don't like the result, press Shift + R to reset the overlay settings.^[2]
4. Press ESC to exit the config screen.^[2]

Unverified The sources here show no recipes, quests or config files for this mod in the pack, so there is no verified list of first items to craft or quests to follow.

The sources for this mod describe no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation. All they show is a set of key bindings and an on-screen overlay that you can move around, so this section is short.^[2]

Key bindings

The mod adds its own category to the controls menu, called "Time in a bottle Curio support". It lists the bindings "Use TIAB" and "Toggle TIAB overlay". The overlay binding shows or hides the TIAB overlay. The sources don't give default keys, so check your controls menu to see what they are set to.^[2]

The overlay config screen

The mod has a "Curio TIAB config screen" where you place the overlay on your display. These are the controls it shows:^[2]

• Click and drag to move the overlay to where you want it.^[2]
• Press Shift + S to save your overlay settings.^[2]
• Press Shift + R to reset the overlay settings.^[2]
• Press ESC to exit the screen. You get a "Closed Curio TIAB config Screen" message when you do.^[2]

This mod only has a handful of options, and they all live in one client-side file, config/curiotiab-client.toml. They control the overlay that shows how much time your bottle holds. Here is exactly how this pack sets them.^[3]

Overlay content

settings.overlaymode decides what the overlay shows. This pack sets it to "BOTH". The allowed values are TOTAL, CURRENT and BOTH, and you should use only one of them.^[3]

• CURRENT shows the time stored currently on the bottle.^[3]
• TOTAL shows the total accumulated time on the bottle, as the config comment describes it.^[3]
• BOTH shows the total and the current time together, as the config comment describes it. This is how the pack has it.^[3]

settings.useheader is set to true in this pack, so the overlay carries the 'TIAB Curio' header. Set it to false if you want a cleaner overlay without that header.^[3]

Overlay position

guipostion.x and guipostion.y place the overlay on your screen. The pack sets both to 5. The key really is spelled "guipostion" in the file, so copy it exactly if you edit it by hand.^[3]
