⚙️ How it works
🌟 **Smart Time Pause System**
- The host will collect status information of all players (in menus, cutscenes, mini-games, etc.)
- Game time will automatically stop when all players meet the pause conditions
- If any player is free to move, game time will return to normal
⏰ **Time Repair Function**
- Fixed time lapse in Skull Cave, calculated in proportion to players in the cave
- Fixed health loss issue when falling from shaft
🎯 **Visual Indicators**
- A progress bar showing the fulfillment of the suspension conditions
- 🔵 Blue: Number of players who can move freely
- 🟢 Green: Number of players who need to be paused
- 🔴 Red: Players with no modules installed or not loaded (only visible to the host)
- Click on the progress bar to view the detailed list of blue/red players
- Clicking will not affect game dialogs or cutscenes
🎮 Use controls
- Press the **F3** key to turn on/off the module function

💡 Design Concept
As my first mod, I wanted it to keep the game balanced and fair. The time mechanic should work just like in the single player game, and all the tricks that work with time in the single player game should also work in the multiplayer game, but this mod won't add any new cheats.

Install & use Install: SMAPI mod (Stardew Valley standard)
- Install SMAPI first (Stardew Valley's mod loader): download it from smapi.io, run 'install on Windows.bat' and pick your game folder.
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and find the folder that contains manifest.json — that folder is the mod.
- Copy that whole folder into Stardew Valley/Mods/.
- Launch the game through SMAPI (run StardewModdingAPI.exe or set it as the launch option). The console before the title screen lists each mod's load result.
Cheat-style tools may not need SMAPI — unzip and run them as the readme describes. Back up your save before editing it; SMAPI lists failed mods in its console.
