Time Travel

Minecraft haves a lot of history to it. What if we can go back through time and go to the past that would be useful because we could figure out what happened to the giant bones before they were bones, we could extinct mobs or find temples, we could go back in a time before we made builds, we could it resources we normally can't. And their is a time dimension. The items you need to go back in time are the stopwatch to send you to the time you want and to keep you in that time line, the time rail and time cart to get you at the right time line, and time armor protect you from any effects you get from time traveling.

    maybe when you go back in time a village would not be there yet but you could see ancient villagers building sand and jungle temples and mineshaft would have miners in them. voted

    A time mechanic, and the ability to traverse it! The game memorizing states and constantly tracking things such as number and state of all blocks/objects in a world, block placement, world states, seasons, death time and location, and player/other inventories over the course of in game time. Exact date could be represented as a coordinate.

    I wouldn't expect much, especially at first because of system requirements. I imagine it would be impossible to memorize exact player or mob movements, for example. Maybe it could be done to an extent though.

    I see this as an opportunity to have the game automatically save more/introduce the ability to travel further forwards or backwards in time. You can already skip (aka time travel) to the next morning by sleeping in a bed at the beginning of night, so if commands were input via creative menus, or an exact date input into a time machine* (see time machine item post) the player(s) would get a chance to go to a previous, current, or future time and date, but at current coordinates. Since you can't turn off the autosave feature anymore, if you die and lose an item, it's gone. A good way to think about this is like a new coordinate; a new category of location. It'd enable one to farm crops/resources that aren't currently ready for harvest, revisit past destroyed structures, bring back deceased companions as long as they were named with a nametag, and undo undesired actions (going afk to have your house be blown up by a creeper.)

    They would have to add self-learning ai in Minecraft in order to add this.
