TARDIS Refined
by River_
TARDIS Refined lets players step into a portable dimension modeled on the ship from the BBC science fiction series, and grow and customize it over time.
What it does
The ship works as a portable dimension: a player steps inside and finds a console room, while the exterior shell stays outside in the world. Controls on the console let the player travel to other places, across dimensions and around the world, and locking keeps the ship closed to others. The author describes the mod as following vanilla gameplay rules, so travel follows the ordinary structure of Minecraft rather than adding new systems.
Fabric API is required, so it must be installed alongside the mod on Fabric. The mod runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and the environment is client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for 1.19.2, 1.20.1 and 1.20.2, with 1.20.1 the latest build for each loader. The license is custom and not open source, and the author links a source code repository, an issue tracker and a wiki.
Optional integrations are listed for Create, Create Fabric, Curios API, Immersive Portals, Immersive Portals for (Neo)Forge, Trinkets and Valkyrien Skies. Seven other catalog mods require this one, including TriadTech and Black Archive.
