You have been tasked by Magnus to test his newest invention, a time machine!
The experiment might end up having some complications though and the mess is yours to solve...
The map is in a loop and will get reset on death and upon finding special key items.
You can bring these key items with you to your next loops and access new areas you haven't been able to before or perhaps get a new perspective on an old area.
There's a skill-tree-like monument you select your items from and filling it is your goal...
The map supports multiplayer for an arbitrary amount of players (at least in theory), but multiplayer support was definitely an afterthought and the level design is not made with it in mind.
There are certain one-way places where you can't go back in singleplayer, but in multiplayer some players could stay behind. To fix this, upon trying to go through such places, a teleport request will be sent to all other players and you can only continue when all players are in the same place.
Some areas are also meant for singleplayer in the way that it's easier for one player to just take the lead, but the other players can still follow if they want to.
Also note that to mostly prevent weird issues with new players joining, the joining players will be teleported to a random already playing player. This should work 95% of the time, but it's still safest to only join when in the item selection area.
This map uses a lot of tile entities for decoration which are really laggy in vanilla. I didn't realize this early enough due to using mods that fix this and if you don't do anything the map will be basically unplayable. There are two things you can do to fix this:
A) In the starting room of the map, there are signs about this exact topic and you can press one of them to remove all the laggy decoration from the map. This will off course degrade the visuals a bit, but in most areas it's honestly not the biggest difference.
B) You can also install mods to fix this. Either Entity Culling or Better Block Entities will deal with the issue. Just note that BBE will slightly alter the look of some blocks by adding shading to them. If you decide to install mods, I also recommend installing Sodium, because it fixes a weird visual bug where blocks disappear for a frame on some teleports and also just generally improves performance.
