Adventures in Time | TARDIS (Forge)
by drtheodor
Adventures in Time | TARDIS adds a functional TARDIS to Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge, with flight controls, a customisable vortex view and two dimensions, Mars and the Moon.
What it does
The mod brings a working TARDIS into the game, with more than twenty controls on the console, a coffee machine built into the console room, and a vortex view that players can customise. The engine system and customisable animations let a player change how the ship moves and looks. Immersive sound design accompanies the flight and the exterior.
Two dimensions, Mars and the Moon, can be reached from the ship, so the mod extends travel beyond the overworld. The project is open to Forge only for now: it is published for 1.20.1 alone, and the Fabric and Forge pairing mentioned by the author is not part of the current Forge file. Adventures in Time | TARDIS requires AmbleKit, Forgified Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) to run, and builds from 1.2.5.2812 onward need YACL specifically.
Because the mod is client and server, the server and every player need it installed. The author recommends 8GB of RAM for singleplayer and 8GB allocated to multiplayer servers. The project is released under a custom license and is not open source, though its source code, issue tracker and wiki are publicly linked.

What the author says
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A NVIDIA GPU USE CHLORIDE FOR THE BOTI EFFECT, IF THAT DOES NOT FIX IT WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. Versions 1.2.5.2812-1.20.1-release and above will require YACL.
