While server-side behavior is perfectly preserved, on the client block events are separated by 1gt worth of time, allowing you to see the order in which pistons extend and\/or retract within any tick. <\/p>\n<p>The mod can be activated in three modes using the `\/blockeventseparator mode <new mode>` command:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; `depth`: Block events are separated by depth (colloquially known as &#8220;microticks&#8221; or &#8220;BED&#8221;). Block events at the same depth start animating simultaneously.<br \/>\n&#8211; `index`: Block events are separated by index, based on the order in which they were executed. Each block event starts after the previous.<br \/>\n&#8211; `block`: Moving blocks are separated by index, based on the order in which they were created.<\/p>\n<p>The pace at which the game steps through the block events can be changed using the `\/blockeventseparator interval <new interval>` command. The separation interval is given in ticks and should be greater than 0.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Block Event Separator does not separate the execution of block events server-side, but client-side. <\/p>\n<p>## G4mespeed Mod Compatibility<br \/>\nUsing Block Event Separator in combination with G4mespeed (version 1.3.0 or later) gives several benefits:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; More consistent piston animations.<br \/>\n&#8211; Change the separation mode from the Server Settings section of the G4mespeed Menu.<br \/>\n&#8211; The separation mode will be saved and loaded from G4mespeed&#8217;s options rather than resetting when the game is restarted.<\/p>\n<p>Note: only releases for Minecraft 1.16 and above have G4mespeed integration.<\/p>\n<p>## Carpet Mod Compatibility<br \/>\nBlock Event Separator is compatible with Carpet&#8217;s tick freeze functionality, allowing you to step through individual block events at your own leisurely pace. For the best results, Carpet mod should be installed client-side, with the `smoothClientAnimations` rule enabled, or G4mespeed should be installed client-side to properly sync the client to the server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>See the world one piston block event at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":32131,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"block-event-separator","_minecraft_project_id":"GNj1KeF1","_minecraft_author":"Space Walker","_minecraft_license":"MIT","_minecraft_downloads":23144,"_minecraft_follows":47,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"required","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"block-event-separator.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":2577396,"_minecraft_version_count":61,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-16T21:20:04.015418Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2022-03-21T19:25:15.920349Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-05-09T09:34:00.270773Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/block-event-separator","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":32131,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T14:31:28+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"c6de2d23f609dbe53a3acc3b2a6525ef","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[43,97,98,92],"mod_loader":[99,100],"minecraft_version":[110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82,83,167,163],"class_list":["post-32130","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-cursed","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-quilt","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","mod_loader-quilt","minecraft_version-1-14","minecraft_version-1-14-1","minecraft_version-1-14-2","minecraft_version-1-14-3","minecraft_version-1-14-4","minecraft_version-1-15","minecraft_version-1-15-1","minecraft_version-1-15-2","minecraft_version-1-16","minecraft_version-1-16-1","minecraft_version-1-16-2","minecraft_version-1-16-3","minecraft_version-1-16-4","minecraft_version-1-16-5","minecraft_version-1-17","minecraft_version-1-17-1","minecraft_version-1-18","minecraft_version-1-18-1","minecraft_version-1-18-2","minecraft_version-1-19","minecraft_version-1-19-1","minecraft_version-1-19-2","minecraft_version-1-19-3","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9","minecraft_version-26-1","minecraft_version-26-1-1","minecraft_version-26-1-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
