Wtf does this do

Rewinding is a mod for Minecraft that lets players undo unwanted changes to their world without typing commands or crafting special items. It is built for the Fabric mod loader and targets Minecraft version 26.2. The mod works by quietly recording recent block changes as you play and periodically saving snapshots of the world's state. If something goes wrong, such as an explosion ruining a build or a mistake during building, you can open a menu and roll things back to an earlier point. Everything is controlled through an in-game menu called the Quick Panel, which opens with the B key by default. From there you can trigger Record State Now to manually save a snapshot at that moment, or open World States to browse, preview, restore, or delete snapshots you have saved. There is also an Instant Undo option, available from the Quick Panel or a custom keyboard shortcut, which quickly reverses the most recent recorded block changes without needing to dig through saved states. The Quick Panel settings let you adjust how the mod behaves: whether it records automatically, how often it saves, which regions of the world it tracks, whether it captures state right before a player death, and how far back the instant undo can reach. To use it, you need Minecraft 26.2, Fabric Loader version 0.19.3 or newer, the Fabric API, and Java 25 or newer installed. The README does not go into detail beyond installation requirements and the panel controls, and there is no mention of multiplayer server support or licensing terms.
