About this project

What does ChronoGuard add?

🕰️ ChronoGuard

ChronoGuard is a server-side plugin for Hytale designed to track, inspect and restore the history of your world.

It is built around a simple idea:

What if your world had a timeline… and you could control it?


🧠 The Idea Behind ChronoGuard

Working in the live events industry as a lighting technician, I constantly work with timelines.

On a show timeline I can:

  • go back
  • change something
  • inspect a cue
  • fix problems when something goes wrong

In a way, it's like having a small time machine for the show.

That’s where the idea came from:

Why not create a plugin that records the history of the world like a timeline, allowing admins to read it and rewrite it when something goes wrong?

This is how ChronoGuard was born.


🕰️ What is ChronoGuard?

ChronoGuard protects the timeline of your world.

Every:

  • block placed
  • block broken
  • change made by a player

becomes an event in time.

ChronoGuard records these events and allows server administrators to:

  • inspect the past
  • understand what happened
  • rewind time when needed

Just like a director in a theater show can go back on the timeline, fix a cue, and continue the show.


🔥 ChronoGuard is not just a log system

It is a timeline control system for your server.

  • The world has a timeline
  • ChronoGuard watches it
  • ChronoGuard protects it
  • ChronoGuard can restore it

🔍 Features

📌 Block History Tracking

ChronoGuard records:

  • Block placements
  • Block breaks
  • Previous and resulting block states
  • Player responsible for the action
  • Exact coordinates and timestamps

🔁 Rewind System

Restore your world to a previous state with precision:

/cg rewind <radius> <limit>

Revert recent changes in a defined area Supports multiple rewind operations Preserves block rotation and state correctly

👁️ Watch Area

/cg watch area

Shows recent activity around your position Displays player, block, coordinates and time perfect for moderation and debugging.

📍 Timeline Inspect (Basic)

/cg timelinehere

Inspect the latest event at your current position

⚙️ How it works

ChronoGuard logs world changes into a local SQLite database. This creates a timeline of your world, allowing you to: investigate player actions monitor activity in specific areas restore previous states when needed

🚧 Roadmap

ChronoGuard is actively being developed. Planned updates:

v1.1 → Block name resolver (readable block names) v1.2 → Improved timeline system v1.3 → Forward system (undo rewind) v1.4 → Database and logging improvements

⚠️ Notes

This is the first public release (v1.0) Some features are still being refined The timeline system will evolve in future updates
