Known Incompatibilities
Optifine
Performance-enhancing mods like Optifine are incompatible with the "bigger on the inside" portals and TARDIS interior lighting. Optifine makes fundamental changes to Minecraft's code that can disrupt systems this mod relies on. Alternatives like Magnesium are recommended.
Immersive Portals/Better Portals
These mods also alter core Minecraft systems and may cause conflicts leading to crashes or rendering issues.
Better Weather
Better Weather disables the critical Forge Capabilities system, making the TARDIS engine and other key functions inoperable.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Q: Is this a continuation of the original TARDIS Mod by ShaneDarkholme? A: No, while the New TARDIS Mod was inspired by the original mod, it has no relation to it.
Q: Why are the TARDIS controls so complex? A: The button-based control system with minimal GUI usage is designed to convey the complexity of operating a time machine as portrayed in the series.
Mod Usage
Q: How do I obtain a TARDIS? A: In versions 1.14.4+, you need to find a TARDIS and encourage it to open for you. In version 1.12.2, you craft a TARDIS coral that gradually grows.
Q: Why won't the TARDIS take off? A: Flight requires special components - the dematerialization circuit and fluid links.
Q: How do I summon my TARDIS? A: Craft a Stattenheim remote and use it on a block - the TARDIS will land nearby.
